CAN ANYBODY HEAR ME?

When I was young, I came to this place,
With a few good friends and a smile on my face,
We’d talk all night and then leave at dawn,
Just havin’ fun, never did nuthin’ wrong

But the years blazed on, at the speed of light,
One day you wake up, and youth’s outta sight,
The friends you held dear, have all disappeared,
And condolences offered, can’t stop the tears

Can anybody hear me?
Or do you just fear me?
I know I’ve gotten old,
Do you have to be so cold?
Can anybody hear me?

I walk in this place, with a cane in my hand,
I’m the last of my friends, I know they’d understand,
I just wanna be close, to the laughs and the boasts,
To those I once loved, even though they’re all ghosts

And I listen to music, that seems out of place,
But I endure it all with a smile on my face,
Talk to myself and sleep until dawn,
Don’t know who I am, but I know something’s wrong

Can anybody hear me?
Or do you just fear me?
I know I’ve gotten old,
Do you have to be so cold?
Can anybody hear me?
