Useless

Thoughts have been spinning in my mind
It's been a while
But it only feels like a short time

I remember the days when I was young
The fear of dying was so strong
But now the years have gone
I won't be here very long
And I don't care

I've been so useless
I feel so helpless

My children left home years ago
Don't know where dad lives anymore
My wife passed away this time last year
Died in her sleep, no pain no fear

I've been so useless
I feel so helpless

I wanna go, where the angels fly
I wanna go, let the tears go by
I wanna go, and leave all this behind me

Surrounded by people I don't know
Been living here so long
And I can't remember when I moved in

Surprising how the mind works on
When the body's given up so long ago
I've been so useless
I feel so helpless

I wanna go
I can't stand the decay
I wanna go
Without delay
I wanna go
And leave all this behind me

Where the angels fly
Let the tears go by
And leave all my shit behind

Well I've been useless far too long
Going out here makes me strong
