"Middle Age" lyrics
"Middle Age"
Middle age is different
Now you're someone else
Now you got some sense of
How much time perhaps is left
Middle age is central
Now you tend to know
Not just where it's been you've been
But where you'll likely go
Middle age, middle age, I say (I say)
In a new, older now, later stage
Middle age is clearer
Now it dawns on you
Now you hafta laugh at what you
Used to think you knew
Middle age is cloudy
Rain or sleet or snow?
Don't you wish you knew those things?
In fact, you once did know?
Middle age, middle age, I say (I say)
In a new, older now, later stage
Middle age
Middle age
Here's your middle age years
Here's your middle age years
Middle age is hectic
Much less time for fun
Clearly, it's a good thing youth is
Wasted on the young
Middle age, middle age, I say (I say)
In a new, older now, later stage
Middle age is telling
Now you see it's so
All those old, gray people aren't to
Blame for being slow
Middle age is further
Closer to the end
This will be as young as you will
Ever be again
Middle age, middle age, I say (I say)
In a new, older now, later stage
Middle age, middle age, I say
Call it half, by the best you can gauge
Middle age
Here's your middle age years
Here's your middle age years
Here's your middle age years
Here's your middle age years
Middle age
Middle age
