Old Man's Lament

[Verse]
Got a wrinkle on my brow
My hair's turnin' white now
Kids flew far away
Lonely I watch the days decay
[Verse 2]
Wife's taken by that tycoon
She left one rainy afternoon
My heart feels like a stone
In this house all alone
[Chorus]
Time's a cruel old friend
Shows me all the bitter ends
No more future left to mend
Just the past I can't defend
[Verse 3]
Job's a dead end street
Got no fire no heart no beat
Boss man turned a blind eye
To my silent inner cry
[Bridge]
They say old dogs can't learn new tricks
Guess that's where my sorrow sticks
Stuck in the same damn mix
Wishing life had a quick fix
[Verse 4]
Now the nights are cold and long
Echoes of where I belong
Memories sing a sad song
Wonder how it all went wrong
