These Days

These days, they come around.
Dropping leaves and frozen ground.
Those wild summer nights are gone.
A chill is in the air.
Wrinkled eyes and thinning hair.
No falling stars to wish upon.

The sun sets just for you.
To thank you for those things you do.
Brilliant colors close the day.
Maybe we'll meet sometime.
And tell ourselves we're still alive.
Say all those things we meant to say.

These days are mine.
I'd sure like to share them with you.
Let's take some time
And do the things that we never do.
I'm feeling fine
But I'd sure like to try something new.
Let's take the time
I want to know the inside of you.

Sometimes I drink despair.
I drink 'til I fall off my chair.
The ceiling spins, I'm satisfied.
But then the floor gets cold.
I realize I'm getting older.
There's no one special by my side.

These days are mine.
I'd sure like to share them with you.
Let's take some time
And do the things that we never do.
I'm feeling fine
But I'd sure like to try something new.
Let's take the time
I want to know the inside of you.

I want to take a long long ride.
Somebody stop my suicide.
Kick me right between the eyes.
And keep me, keep me occupied.

These years go flying by.
Our dreams they live in blue blue sky.
I swore it would never happen to me.
But then I sold my soul.
I wish I had more self control.
I never thought I'd get this deep.

These days are mine.
I'd sure like to share them with you.
Let's take some time
And do the things that we never do.
I'm feeling fine
But I'd sure like to try something new.
Let's share our time
I want to live my days out with you.
