The Autumn Man


I think I'm getting older ~ there's difference in every way Body doesn't feel the same ~ on an ice cold Winter's day What's really bothering me ~ is how my mind has changed Now I listen to hearts aloud ~ in the howling of the rain I think I'm getting older ~ silver fox hair on display Not the Loverboy I used to be ~ sometimes I wish I'd stayed that way So I'll face what I have to face ~ wrinkled up I'll push ahead I think I'm getting older now ~ it's hard to get up off my bed I think I'm getting older ~ vision seems a little blurred I might not hear everything ~ but somehow I read your every word What fascinated me for years ~ just goes by blowing in the wind Autumn leaves are falling~ and I'm back to earth again
