My god is calling me My innings is finally at an end At the age of ninety three I have no one to hold my hand As I begun to close my eyes Just an empty echoing silence No "Please don't die" or cries My final journey I face alone No body to hold my hand Life flashes before my eyes Some days were very grand I view the girls I loved in life The one who took my heart The friends I shared fun nights with The ones I tore apart Once I was surrounded by people Conversation was always there Now here I am lying in the gutter Nobody here to care In all my life people always made False promises to me "I'll look after you in your old age" Just empty lies you see Will anyone remember Jack? As the loving man who did nothing wrong? Or will I be another vagrant Just singing a final song My eyes begin to close now I see the sun one last time Its shining beauty and warmth Make me feel so fine It feels as though I can touch the sun My god I really can! I embrace its warmth with all my heart I am a happy man I look down and pity the man lying there I feel so much sympathy Then reality stikes me in the face The lying man is me..........
