lyrics

Sitting in his room al by himself.
Staring at some pictures on a shelf.
Pictures of back when, he was a strong young man.
Times that seem a century ago.

He’s waiting for the nurses to come in,
to bring his food and ask him how he’s been.
And he will lie and say, he’s doing quite ok.
He’s miserable but will not let it show.

He’s an old man now. Almost eighty years of age.
And the story of his life is coming to its final page.
He has got no future left. Just his memories of the past.
And he can’t seem to believe how his life went by so fast.
But he knows every story has an end.

Ever since his wife has passed away,
he keeps the television on all day.
He sits next to his phone. He hates to be alone.
Although he should be used to it by now.
He’s always been a very social man.
But only gets a visit now and then.
The three kids he did raise, are busy nowadays.
Everybody seems to be somehow.

...though he’d prefer a happy one.
This is not what he deserves after all that he has done.
He worked hard all his life supporting three kids and a wife.Now he hasn't got much time anymore.
Yet he never felt this lonely before.
