The Price Of Getting Old
RuderanP (17/12/2019)
[Verse 1]
My bones crack
And yes - my body aches
Especially my back,
But I still, I still have what it takes

[Bridge]
To chew a piece of meat
Walk on wet leaves in the street

[Chorus]
Though I may seem bitter
And I may seem cold
It’s just the price of getting old,,
the price of getting old

[Verse 2]
I haven't lost my mind,, yet
So it seems to me
But I wouldn't place a bet,,
For it still, it still wanders aimlessly

[Bridge]
To chew a piece of meat
Walk on wet leaves in the street

[Chorus]
Though I may seem bitter
And I may seem cold
It’s just the price of getting old,,
the price of getting old

[Verse 3]
Youth stands on its head,,
And I, I am on the other side
Things didn’t look good back then,,
And now it’s, it’s still the same old ride

[Bridge]
To chew a piece of meat
Walk on wet leaves in the street

[Chorus]
Though I may seem bitter
And I may seem cold
It’s just the price of getting old,,
the price of getting old

[Verse 4]
Old people who rejoice,
Tend to,, make me ill
Nothing joyful,, in
Brandishing a pill,,
But I guess, I guess we have no choice

[Bridge]
To chew a piece of meat
Walk on wet leaves in the street

[Chorus]
Though I may seem bitter
And I may seem cold
It’s just the price of getting old,,
the price of getting old

[Verse 5]
My children put me in,, a corner,,
Out of harm’s way
Can he really eat meat,,
Or do we, do we give him soup today?
They mean well, I’m sure,
But can’t imagine what I dream

I long again to hold
My wife’s naked body in my arms

It’s just the price of getting old
The true price of getting old
