time's closing door


you know who I used to be
before age took control of me
I was young and free then
before the years added up
and time started to consume me
and all of those who knew me
told me I was a good man
but it still wasn't enough

          help me remember
          for the rest of my days
          the wonders of youth
          which has long gone away
          help me remember
          what went on before
          before I opened
          time's closing door

I walked the straight and narrow
and I did my best to follow
but fear and worries found me
and threw me to the ground
and now you find me here
doing my best to disappear
I look around for your faces
but I don't see you around

          help me remember
          for the rest of my days
          the wonders of youth
          which has long gone away
          help me remember
          what went on before
          before I opened
          time's closing door
