Chorus: G A A7 D Here's to memory, old age and every G A Here's to the people who live in a shell G A A7 D Here's to memory, one more for every A7 D A One for the road where pedestrians dwell D G D So self-assured, complacent and bored A D Our hero opens a box on the shelf G D Containing advice, so worldly and wise A D A Welcomes his children to help themselves Chorus He hasn't time for riddle or rhyme Too busy fighting machines at the plant He married young, his path is his pocket Beginnings and endings escape from this end Chorus Baptized, materialized, no time to realise Caught in the current and drown in the well Went about fifty, stubborn and empty Hands out the world for his children to sell Chorus (2X) by: Jos Duarte jtduarte1@gmail.com
