An Old Man Now
For years I sat here and I waited
For you to come I anticipated
The one love I once had never showed as the days past
Cried and cried because of the hurt deep inside
Time came time went and I miss the time that we spent
I called your name and there came no reply and the hurt grew more deep inside
For thirty years I sat for the wait and how you still never came
Now in my casket I can laugh nor sigh
But one old tear rolls down my eye
how you left me here to rot and die
