I Do Know That Time

I do know that time is running out on me And i wonder how many more Springs i will live for to see When i am one of the forgotten of the forever gone The magpie will sing and life will go on Four decades of years beyond my physical prime Though it does not seem that long on looking back on time The weeks do go quickly and time ticks away It does not wait on anyone as the wise one does say I feel lucky to be amongst the living of today Some of those i went to school with amongst the deceased do lay I just wish for to live on for as long as i can And die without pain in my sleep as a very old man In the blue sunny sky just a few clouds of gray How nice to be living on such a nice day
