Sunset Of Your Life

Janis Ian

She is too old to care
Why not just leave her there?
We'll see her once a week
If we have time, we'll speak
This is the sunset of your life

The old ones like to claw and clutch
Be careful not to offer much
They understand the fist and crutch
Their skin like leather to the touch
This is the sunset of your life

The empty smile, the frozen face
The drooling child humiliates
If I were you, I think I'd die,
here in the sunset of my life

The long and lonely night
has just begun
This withered witch cannot be you
There will be no sun
