getting old

take me down next to the water, next to flowers and old times, i hope the view is still the same, 'cause i've been losing strength and power, regret occupies my mind, i'm sick of loneliness and pain, i used to be, young and free, worried about my legacy, now i'm aged and alone, i'm getting old, and growing up, is not what it's cracked up to be, we're just names in stone, when you're young you think you're perfect, indestructible and strong, well let me tell you that you're wrong, 'cause i have watched lives come and go, my god, i've seen my children die, respect and glory are just talk, i used to be, young and free, worried about my legacy, now i'm aged and alone, i'm getting old, and growing up, is not what it's cracked up to be, we're just names in stone, we're just names in stone, we're just names in stone, we're just names in stone, we're just names in stone, hold on to your youth, 'cause soon you'll be old, too, hold on to your youth, 'cause soon you will die, too
