The memories of a man in his old ageAre the deeds of a man in his prime.You suffle in gloom in the sickroomAnd talk to yourself till you die.Life is a short, warm momentAnd death is a long cold rest.You get your chance to tryIn the twinkling of an eye:Eighty years, with luck, or even less.So all aboard for the American tour,And maybe you'll make it to the top.And mind how you go.I can tell you, because I know.You may find it hard to get off.You are the angel of deathAnd I am the dead man's son.And he died like a mole in a fox hole.And everyone is still in the run.And who is the master of fox hounds?And who says the hunt has begun?And who calls the tune in the courtroom?And who beats the funeral drum?The memories of a man in his old ageAre the deeds of a man in his prime.You suffle in gloom in the sickroomAnd talk to yourself till you die. |
