I just want to go home

my hair was black

now it is gray

days of youth

have long gone away

leaving me

feeling so alone

I just want to go home

my legs are slow

but 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

           they days, they go so fast

           days pass by

           without reasons why

           so 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 are answers

that I'll never know

leaving me

with desire unknown

I just want to go home
