Oh each year comes
and I watch the time pass
as it falls like the grains
in an hourglass.
And seconds take minutes,
but the minutes go fast
when I’m watchin’ it all the time.
Oh thought that the movin’
would make me feel good,
but I don’t feel no better
like I thought I would.
Just more left to ponder
and less understood,
and I don’t find no reason or rhyme.
Just bleedin’ and breakin’
till I’m sore in my bones.
Each year I get older,
but I still haven’t grown.
Each year just gets shorter
and I get more all alone.
And I ain’t got nobody to hold.
Cause out on the highway
you ain’t got no friends.
No lovers. No meaning.
It’s all just pretend.
Nobody to call;
just hearts left to mend
as you watch while the mirror gets old.
There’s nowhere to go
since my heart turned to ice.
There’s no use in singin’
’bout sugar and spice.
Got no good suggestions.
Got no good advice.
Just sad songs on white, sandy beaches
in para-damn-dise.
