When I'M Old
Set me on a cloud
Shout me way out loud
Listen as I sing
Dance with me when it rains
Wear me when I'm cold
Love me when I'm old
And I'll always be your convivial soul
Watching the sun set down,
I'm running out of this town
On a wing of tousled pride
To where the mountains reside
I'm friends with all the stars
We hang in my backyard
They bring the planets and rings
We sit around and we sing
Sometimes I crash with the waves
Sometimes I'm with them for days
And let me because I'm their convivial soul
Watching the bonfire burn, I'm waiting for my turn
To set the world in disguise so you can see through my eyes
'Till then I'm drinking rotten wine
Keeping my head down
I don't have the time if the earth is still spinning around
