Lingering Hippie

I'm just a lingering hippie 
Still living with my past 
I'm just a lingering hippie 
Still bending sail and mast
I'm just an ageing sailor 
Still rockin’ on time’s boat 
I'm just an ageing sailor 
Still hearing each vinyl note 
I'm just a person whose friends are old 
Still dancing and wearing tie dye 
I'm just a person whose friends are old 
Still wanting a gentle high 
I'm just a lingering hippie 
Still seeing with tinted view 
I'm just a lingering hippie 
Still wondering what to do
