[male vocals] Lonely

night

The

youthful

vigor

is

gone,

burning

flames

is

now

ashes

and

dust,

bricks

laid

on

bricks

are

shadows

of

yesterday,

friends

are

dead,

some

are

weak

and

voiceless

as

you,

only

lucky

few

enjoy

the

comfort

of

their

children.

You

retired,

become

tired,

illness

becloud

your

hapless

body,

age

is

unfriendly

to

your

body.

The

lives

you

built

have

flown

away.

The

good

memories

you

built

over

the

years

stare

back

at

you

from

the

walls.

That

strong

man

is

now

a

shadow,

the

shoulders

cant

stand

the

weight

of

today.

Memory

only

recoils

the

blissful

days

fast

spent.

The

hours

of

the

day

stay

still,

lonely

days

become

long

and

boring.

You

retired,

become

tired,

illness

becloud

your

hapless

body,

age

is

unfriendly

to

your

body.

The

lives

you

built

have

flown

away.

The

good

memories

you

built

over

the

years

stare

back

at

you

from

the

walls.

He

had

retired

from

working,

tired

of

doing

something

else,

because

many

illnesses

now

becloud

is

hapless

body.

He

stares

that

long

only

empty

house,

noise

of

children

is

long

disappered,

the

door

stays

that

way

from

dawn

to

duskof

next

years.

The

phone

had

no

call,

not

even

a

miss

call.

The

wife

had

eloped

with

her

children.

The

big

house

stares

in

shadows

and

echoes

of

his

own

breathe.

The

memories

of

little

children,

families

hanging

on

the

walls

stare

back

at

him.

He

had

to

make

his

own

meal,

make

his

own

laundary

in

a

long

while,

take

a

walk

around

the

over

grown

garden.

He

called

one

of

the

children,

oh!

He

suddenly

realised

he

left

for

the

city

many

years

ago.

You

retired,

become

tired,

illness

becloud

your

hapless

body,

age

is

unfriendly

to

your

body.

The

lives

you

built

have

flown

away.

The

good

memories

you

built

over

the

years

stare

back

at

you

from

the

walls.

He

needs

help,

but

there's

none,

he

cant

climb

the

stairs

anymore.

The

house

is

unkempt,

the

tv

and

radio

are

left

idling

away.

Time

had

made

it

difficult

and

different.

He's

weak

in

years,

trembling

in

old

age.

Staring

at

deserted

road,

accepting

unfriendly

greetings.

He

walks

around

the

street

in

search

of

his

old

friends,

many

are

nowhere

to

be

found.

He

learnt

for

the

first

time

that

some

have

joined

their

ancestors.

That

broke

is

fragile

heart.

Some

he

met

cant

recognise

him,

because

their

memories

have

dwindle

the

drain

of

time

and

age.

He

spent

his

youthful

vigor

training

children,

making

good

living

for

them,

preparing

them

for

a

great

future.

They

had

the

great

future

and

flew

away

with

it.

The

man

is

old

without

the

future

by

his

side,

except

is

lonely

self.

It

hurts

to

stare

the

lonely

big

house,

it

hurts

to

see

strangers

making

your

beds

and

your

foods.

While

good

memories

only

hang

on

the

walls

staring

at

you

all

long.

The

echoes

of

your

monologue

become

your

companion.

You

retired,

become

tired,

illness

becloud

your

hapless

body,

age

is

unfriendly

to

your

body.

The

lives

you

built

have

flown

away.

The

good

memories

you

built

over

the

years

stare

back

at

you

from

the

walls.

The

injuries

hurts,

the

weight

of

years

spent

on

labour

haunts,

the

torchous

years

building

family,

budding

their

wings,

now

they

have

all

flown

away

in

search

of

good

life.

The

circle

is

endless,

only

a

few

breaks

the

jinx

of

this

vicious

circle.

While

you

are

young,

remember,

someday,

the

strength

would

fail

you.

The

beautiful

wife

and

children

would

see

you

as

another

burden,

another

stranger.

Stay

healthy,

stay

strong

for

yourself.

A

time

would

come

in

your

life.

When

silence

of

your

house

would

be

long.

The

echoes

would

resound

so

loud

that

you

would

be

the

only

echoes.

The

house

deserted,

sun

has

set

on

bricks,

time

has

gone

to

another.

The

doctor

said,

dont

do

this

and

that,

dont

eat

this

and

that,

take

this

medication,

dont

work.

The

list

of

dont's

is

longer

that

do's.

The

list

makes

life

boring

than

the

youths,

who

see

your

story

boring

as

your

staggering

steps.

You

retired,

become

tired,

illness

becloud

your

hapless

body,

age

is

unfriendly

to

your

body.
