lyrics

I got old, my friend
and sometimes I feel like a ghost
in a rocking chair
in my living room

I can never leave
from my window I see the world
but the curtains hide
my own quiet home

if I had one more chance to walk
I would simply run
I would grab my shoes
a worn-out jacket
old rags were enough
I would move and dance like the flowers
on a country road
oh my heart needs sun, rain and fire

I got old, my friend
and sometimes I feel like a ghost
in an empty house
in a wooden coat

I can never break
any part of my heart or bone
if I'm hard enough
I can die alone

if I had one more chance to walk
I would simply run
I would grab my shoes
a worn-out jacket
old rags were enough
I would move and dance like the flowers
on a country road
oh my heart needs sun, rain and fire

but I cannot move
old age is a weight
that cannot be lifted
so I wait and sit around
chairs with legs cannot walk
and far from the door
I wish I could find
a way to get out

if I had one more chance to walk
I would simply run
I would grab my shoes
a worn-out jacket
old rags were enough
I would move and dance like the flowers
on a country road
oh my heart needs sun, rain and fire
I got old, my friend
