Sentimentally I'll go along In a big hat, smiling wide as all Wait a minute, tell me, why are you so nice? I can lie and say I've read them all All the books & I've heard every song Selling myself short twice The lighting wasn't right A computer screen strobing all night How do you write a letter When you don't want to write a letter? Time slips by I'm 38 years old I'm past my prime I guess that's fine I'm 45. I'm tired. I'm 56. I can't see. I'm 71, and I'm dead. Time slips by, I feel fine Time line for being alive.
