Sentimentally i'll go along In a big hat, smiling wide as all Wait a minute tell me why are you so nice? I can lie and say i've read 'em all All the books & i’ve heard every song Selling myself short twice The lighting wasn't right A computer screen strobing all night How do you write a letter When you don't want to write a letter Time slips by I'm 38 years old I'm past my prime I guess that’s fine I'm 45. i'm tired. I'm 56. i can't see. I'm 71 and i'm dead. Time slips by, i feel fine. “time line for being alive.”
