See him walking in the park With a few things on his mind He's been talking with the ones With the ones that he loves Tell me who is gonna pay I'm so anxious I don't know You can see it on their face As it takes its toll And he takes his time Yeh he takes his time No one ever, ever gonna mind I don't care what the future holds All I know is that I'm getting old I think I've had an affair At least that's what they call it these days And it wasn't very fair To the ones that I love Well I just pushed her away There was nothing I could say Now I hang myself each night With this noose that I built And he takes his time yeah he takes his time No one ever, ever gonna mind I don't care what the future holds All that I know is that I'm getting old
