Black Curtains

 

Time passed me by,

no more to be young and willing

no more for the songs I'm singing.

Too long I hear the reapers cry

His voice is strong and flowing,

his tone is powerful and knowing.

 

To the end of time

it will take whats mine,

all we hold dear

we depart to sheded tear.

 

I still look to the sky,

even now my heart keeps yearning

and the world keeps turning.

They say its all in the minds eye,

but my sight grows dim

and I am weary within.

 

To the end of time

it will take whats mine,

all we hold dear

we depart but have no fear.

 

So the end has come,

I still hold my faith at heart

may the saints help me start.

A new life has begun,

an old man passes on,

a young boy yet begun.

 

To the end of time

it will take whats mine,

all we hold dear

we depart to sheded tear

we depart but have no fear.

 

Time passed me by......
