lyrics

gone away are the springtime flowers
gone away is the sun
gone... are the days of summer
when i was so young

so write me an epitaph
sign me your autograph
somebody, make me laugh

i’m an old man now, my time is gone
i breathe my last breath, sing this song to you
to say good-bye

i remember when time was on my side
long ago, youthful pride
please visit me again

i was young, i had the vibrance of
three thousand men, back then
but now, no more

my life has changed so
my skin has aged so
and i’m tired
i’m tired
tired...

so write me an epitaph
sign me your autograph
please, make me laugh
i’ve nothing left to offer
and i’ve no place else to go...
