I am like a con trail evaporating
Disappearing before my own eyes
Each day a little more has gone away
My oh my how the time flies
Soon I’ll vanish like a ghost
With no record and no signpost
What can I say about these latter days
It ain’t no fun growing old
What can I make of these latter days
Climbing to the top of the threshold
Who do I see in the mirror
A face I barely recognize
I can tell myself I am proud of all I’ve done
But I that would be a bunch of lies
Yeah I can see how this is gonna end
And there’s no way I can pretend
I feel real shitty from the bottom to the top
I sense my memories starting to go
I see my old friends all sick and dying off
I miss that youthful glow
I am like a ball that’s low on air
No one around to pump me up
Everyone else is suffering just like me
No one’s has a full cup
Every night I fear could be my last
Funny how life goes by so fast
