about

Father won't you please send all your love to me
'Cause I'm down and almost out
And say a prayer for me if you believe in that sort of thing
But just don't leave me out here to drown

Walked to the river's edge so I could clear my head
Watched the current moving fast
But then I stopped to stare at my reflection there
It was drifting down and never looking back

Felt like I saw a ghost, someone I didn't know
Faded straight into the dark
It looked a lot like me through a lens and a three-inch screen
But that couldn't be. No, I set myself apart

I know I wasted time and lost some friends of mine
Took them farther than they wished
But now I realize that you can spend a life
Just thinking something's normal till it's fixed

Life's so fragile, man
Too frail to walk or stand
The good years come and go
Much faster than you know

But there is still time left
Just depends how you measure it
