Many years have passed it seems
And now I’m all alone
I’ve sent the children far away
To some obscurer home
It’s so sad, so sad
Close another door
Listen to my eyes
Close another door
You’re much too old to work
So why won’t you run away?
When 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
So sad (so sad), so sad (so sad)
Close another door
Listen to my eyes
Close another door
You’re much too old to work
So why won’t you run away?
Though the sun is in outside
The rain is in my hair
Now all my life is lived inside
My home is in my chair
So sad (so sad), so sad (so sad)
Close another door
Listen to my eyes
Close another door
You’re much too old to work
So why won’t you run away?
Let me go
Send me flowers and put me on a plane
I may be old
But I’ve been told
At least I’m still around
Find me a life to live through it and send me off
And I’ve been working so, so very hard
And being young but now I’m tired
Ah, I said I’m old
I said I’m old now
And I’ve been working, working, working very hard
Ah… |
