I just want to go home (rewrite 1)

my hair was black

and now it's gray

days of my youth

have long gone away

leaving me

so all alone

I just want to go home

my legs are slow

they still get around

but reasons for moving

don't seem to be found

leaving me

with a body of stone

I just want to go home

           days pass by

           in the blink of an eye

           at my age they go so fast

           days pass by

           without reasons why

           until they become the past

my mind was active

my movements were swift

now thoughts of youth

are too heavy to lift

leaving me

too tired to roam

I just want to go home

where have I gone

where will I go

all these have answers

that I'll never know

leaving me

with the future unknown

I just want to go home
