tell her i said so

James

Here's to a long life
For the end I'm in a home
All my friends have long since gone
Staff are cold but rules are rules
How can children be so cruel?
If I could leave I wouldn't stay
Never thought I'd end this way

Death is welcome
Why'd she wait
Tell her I said so
Tell her I said so

Out the window
Seasons change
Here inside
It's all the same
With the snow the birds have flown
Tell her I said so

We all pray for longer life
Longer life stuck in some home
Home's a word cuts like a knife
Noone chooses to grow old
Put your mark upon my door
I don't play here anymore
This delay is just a bore
Tell her I said so

Here's to a long life
Here's to a life that's lived too long
