  • We are young
    We have years ahead maybe
    We might fall in love
    Fall apart
    Fall apart
    Before it ends
    Well we should try to start

    So I'll go but I'm telling you I don't wanna go
    Could be stuck here and happy

    So there's a puzzle I work on endlessly
    And I've got the sides and all the corners
    But there's a space
    Yeah there's a space
    Lost some pieces I can't replace

    So I'll be but I'm telling you I don't wanna be
    Just a wasted puzzle piece

    We are old
    And our son took the dog away
    And fair enough, guess we're tired all the time
    All the time
    And you know dogs they need ample time outside

    So I'll stay but I'm telling you I don't, I don't wanna stay
    So I'll brace myself against the wall and hope to God that I don't fall
    My bones are worn, my hip won't hold
    I used to be so young, how did I get so old?
    Won't you take my cane and hold my hand
    You're holding onto all I have
    Just a basket full of memories
    And I am losing more each day it seems
    But if I can make it to the street
    I'll steal a car or a bike whatever there is to steal
    And it might get cold I just don't care
    I'm going 'til I'm getting there
    I'll ride my steed all through this town
    'Til I have looked and I have found
    Your peaceful memory
    Won't you return to me?
    Won't you return to me? Writer/s: Dan Mangan
