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
