Common Ground

One day the kids will have a clue
They can fill you in
Research would have taken hours

Walking backwards just to get
To your present
Where you might find common ground

All your old friends
Scared of the end

Maybe I'll write a dissertation
Or keep it to myself
Seems it's shorter every year

What we're calling generations
It's almost to the hour
Do you remember when

Old man stay quiet
It's not your time
Way out I know
Time to let go

Who said it lasts forever
These words play on long since I've gone
It's heavy on my soul
Last night I tried
For the last time

Way out I know
Time to let go

Who said it lasts forever
These words play on long since I've gone
It's heavy on my soul
