Theres a man in a study,
with a book in his lap,
and he's telling the world,
that theres no turning back
The man, he's an old one
and the years clearly show
but he cant be moved
by any that we know
He had a life, and a memory
now he's not really sure how it goes
but its sad, and its sweet, and he knew it complete,
when he wore a younger man's clothes
there was a time, when he was happy
but now the smiles just run off his face
And hes so sure he could have been something,
If only he had gotten out of this place
The book lies forgotten,
a memory without a base
the years flash by
and are seen on the curves of his face
It was a pretty good life for an old one,
and now he just gives me a smile
becuase he knows that i know
he wont be around for a while
So he puts down the book, jsut leaves it behind
along with the burden of cares
and leaves the study, slowly and surely
the last of his memory-ridden lairs.
