The world in his old age
With a weathering smile leaves the stage
Mumbling and grumbling words so grey
Slippin' away in the dread of the day
No more summer friends in the garden
All so shy all so frail
And what was once bearing the season
Is a poisonous wreck left to die in the sun
I sail away over the seventh seas on my crystal ship
Driftin' away forever bound to my crystal ship
To all the girls I'll meet
The places yet to find
My spirit comes out and cries
That their names just escaped my mind
I sail away over the seventh seas on my crystal ship
Driftin' away forever bound to my crystal ship
Is this life done with me?
