He said Do you ever feel you’re getting old
Sitting here half-asleep sometimes?
And he put his head down
scratched the top of his ear
Said: It’s easier just to stay here
That way nobody gets hurt
Smiled half-way through me
He said sometimes he sees himself in dreams
Running down the highway
Nothing changes, all the same old
Blurred-out fields and miles of grain
You mean a lot to me, I think you know
But there has got to be another road
He said Do you ever feel you’re getting old
Something fraying like a kite-string?
Something tired of pretending
Something breaking, something mending
And he went away that day
Smiled half-way through me
