We are young We have years ahead maybe We might fall in love Fall apart Fall apart Before it ends Well we should try to start So I'll go but I'm telling you I don't wanna go Could be stuck here and happy So there's a puzzle I work on endlessly And I've got the sides and all the corners But there's a space Yeah there's a space Lost some pieces I can't replace So I'll be but I'm telling you I don't wanna be Just a wasted puzzle piece We are old And our son took the dog away And fair enough, guess we're tired all the time All the time And you know dogs they need ample time outside So I'll stay but I'm telling you I don't, I don't wanna stay So I'll brace myself against the wall and hope to God that I don't fall My bones are worn, my hip won't hold I used to be so young, how did I get so old? Won't you take my cane and hold my hand You're holding onto all I have Just a basket full of memories And I am losing more each day it seems But if I can make it to the street I'll steal a car or a bike whatever there is to steal And it might get cold I just don't care I'm going 'til I'm getting there I'll ride my steed all through this town 'Til I have looked and I have found Your peaceful memory Won't you return to me? Won't you return to me? --- Basket - Dan Mangan
