Wrinkles tell a story old
Days of youth now silent cold
Echoes of a life once bold
Faded dreams in hands so old
Memories in fragile mind
Happiness left far behind
Walk down paths I used to find
Life's a race I've long resigned
Time slips away like sand
Can't keep it in my hand
Loneliness I can't withstand
Old age rules this weary land
Faces gone and tears I've shed
Burdened by the words unsaid
Haunted by the days I've bled
Living life with quiet dread
Whispers of the past in night
Shadows of my fading light
World that once was burning bright
Now is but a distant sight
Time slips away like sand
Can't keep it in my hand
Loneliness I can't withstand
Old age rules this weary land
