Many years have passed, it seems,
And I am all alone.
I’ve sent the children far away
To some obscure unknown.
(chorus)
It’s so sad,
So sad.
Close another door.
Listen to my eyes.
Close another door.
You’re much too old to work,
So won’t you run away?
I was young, I used to say
That age won’t bother me.
The life I had was very sad,
It all went out to sea
(repeat chorus)
Though the sun is in outside,
The rain is in my hair.
Now my life is lived inside,
My home is in my chair.
(repeat chorus)
(slower...repeat...fade)
Let me go.
Send me flowers and
Put me on a plane.
I’ve paid before,
So I’ve been told
At least I’m alive |
