Many years have passed, it seems
And I am all alone
I've sent the children far away
To some obscure unknown

It's so sad
So sad
Close another door
Listen to my eyes
Close another door
You're much too old to work
So won't you run away?

When I was young, I used to say
That age won't bother me
The life I had was very sad
It all went out to sea

And though the Sun is in outside
The rain is in my hair
Now my life is lived inside
(Now all my life is mystified)
My home is in my chair

Let me go
Send me flowers and
Put me on a plane
I've paid before

So I've been told
At least I'm alive

(I may be old but I've been told at least I'm still alive
Fly me young, fly, and tomorrow, yeah
Get me up
I been working so, so very hard)
