Almost everything I see Are gonna disappear like me One night When the old folks get too tired Then the young people are hired And that's all right Half a year I've been so down Like I've been crawling underground Been pretty good at doing nothing at all I can't play I can't rhyme Unless I somehow find the time To be looking out the window When somebody has to go Leaves me spitting in the snow Swallowing words When the snow's no longer white Instead of freezing every night I wanna follow the birds Maybe once or twice a year I can see everything so clear One of them says well I've got nowhere to go But the rest of them I'm cold And I can't wait 'till I get old Start looking out the window The children and all the banks are gone Dust and dirt on everything And the darning I don't know why I'm shaking I just felt down And I'm staying here Maybe my heart is breaking Breaking with fear I like doing what I do But I ain't doing it for you I do it for me That was how I started out I thought I knew what I was about And who I was going to be It's been four long crooked years Though it sounds like Nothing to an old man Who says I don't know if I can finish the show Before I crash and go insane I need to get up on that train Start looking out the window
