The golden years
A guy is waiting for his bus at a shelter. He spots some children also waiting, as well as an adolescent youth. It's hard for him. It reminds him of himself, and where he is. But soon, and very soon, his glory years will be here.
His golden years.
Enjoy.
Another day in a wintry autumn,
Anther sunset pases by,
And i, distracted in a moment,
Begin to analyse my life,
Children laughing, playing, smiling,
Innocence is such a bliss,
And as they sit here right beside me,
Could there be much better than this - childhood bliss - take me back to this.
The golden leaves begin to dance upon the wind,
Trees release their leaves, they start to want to sing,
And as the glow of autumn's sunset sails to sea, I know
come tomorrow there my golden years will be - more than memories - until then I will see.
Rebellious child he's waiting also,
He wants a reason to survive,
Cos in a world of please and thank you,
Where does he fit in this life,
fights away the thoughts of kindness,
With a carefully chizelled frown,
And when I see him in his struggle,
Another tear comes falling down - whoooa!
The golden leaves begin to dance upon the wind,
Trees release their leaves, they start to want to sing,
And as the glow of autumn's sunset sails to sea, I know,
come tomorrow there my golden years will be - more than memories - until then I will see.
And as I get old,
I remember what my mother had me told,
That life is for living,
For winning and forgiving,
So with this i wait until,
The sun will rise again,
Where all my fears from all these years,
Will come crashing to an end - come crashing to an end -hope's around the bend.
The golden leaves begin to dance upon the wind,
Trees release their leaves, they start to want to sing,
And as the glow of autumn's sunset sails to sea, I know,
Come tomorrow there my golden years will be,
My golden years will be,
More than memories,
My golden years will be,
Until then i will see.
While I usually don't listen to feedback, it's a personal romance, I'd be interested to hear what you think :)
Well, if it helps, I've just spent a good 2 hours putting the lyrics to music and playing it over again. I think it's beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThank you :) I think it's great how there can be many different perspectives on something like this. They're all individual :) I hope you'll continue to have a romance with it as I do :)
ReplyDeleteMuch, that is beautiful. I can completely see where you're going with it and the "story" you've put in there is shining full of hope.
ReplyDeleteSorry I missed you mostly when you were down last - I think of you lots!
