I don't want to succumb

To the ravages of age

It feels I've already planted

One foot in my grave

My back is out

And my knees are weak

From what I've been told

I'm long past my peak

But if I ever forget you

Never you frown

And you have my permission

To put me down

Put me down

I can't seem to spring

Out of bed these days

My hair is falling out

And what's left is fading to grey

So darlin', you will know

When it's time for me to go

When the visible signs

Of old age begin to show

But if I ever forget you

Never you frown

And you have my permission

To put me down

Put me down

Goddamn this frailty
