about

A mood piece, I suppose. As I enter the back nine, as the Q has said, these are things I think about. Hope it's not too much of a downer for ya!

lyrics

I’m in the winter of my days

Feels like the light and the vessel

Could soon part ways

And I know that you’re saddled

With task after task

But, there’s one simple thing I ask

Say a word, if not a prayer

I wouldn’t tell you to go there

Or not, that’s okay

If I know that you care

Say a word or a prayer

Time is like a muscle car race

In the rearview mirror

I don’t recognize my face

What happened to the laughing

Kid flying his kite

Oh yeah, that was never my life

Say my name when you hear my song

Take a moment, doesn’t have to be long

Have a party, what could be so wrong

With a bathtub full of liquor

And community bong

It's not that I intend to leave

Who wants another mind

Numbing reason to grieve

I will fight like a featherweight

Til my last TKO

But, when it’s my turn to go

Say a word, if not a prayer

Don’t skin your knees going there

Or not, that’s okay

If I know that you care

Say a word or a prayer

Say a word, if not a prayer

I wouldn’t tell you to go there

Instead run your hand

Through your son’s or daughter’s hair

Say a word or a prayer

Say it
