PUTTIN' IT AWAY There's no alarm in the morning I can sleep, until I wake No chores, unless I want to And, no money left to make. No more wishing, that I had things If I don't have them, now There's no sense in trying to learn If I don't already know, just how. I retired my old heart And put my love away Wondering, where my soul will go When, it comes my judgment day. No more dreaming of tomorrow To look down that road, to see Just knowing that I've traveled As far, as, I'm going to be. The sunrise is blinding And my visions are a blur And the full moon is scary As I feel those ancient urges, stir. I retired my old heart And put my love away Wondering, where my soul will go When, it comes my judgment day. The years are running down As the seconds, tick, the clock And the hours pass, so quickly As I inventory, my stock. The memories start to fade And, all those faces, too No wondering where I'm going Or what, I'm going to do. I retired my old heart And put my love away Wondering, where my soul will go When, it comes my judgment day. Del "Abe" Jones 8-5-03 Del "Abe" Jones |
