We just want someone
To play with they said
Until the lights go out
And they put us to bed

A warm sandy beach
Maybe a bikini
A super cold glass
With a double martini

Someplace to go
Someone to go with
Someone who's nice
Our hearts to give

A quick get-away
Places with honey
Summer on the lake
Winter where its sunny

And we want it now
Before we're infirm
And what's left of us
Is food for the worm

I see a fly
The day goes by
You look at the leaves
Tomorrow is nigh
You stand at the stove
Warm soup in a ***
When you're old
A day goes by like a shot

I put on my hat
The day is gone
You kiss me good night
And its almost dawn
A robin chirps
The sun goes down
We rise for coffee
The world spins 'round

Ironing a shirt
Watering the garden
A week goes by
Then a year
When summer comes
Its almost winter
When winter sets in
Spring's nearly here
Changing perceptions

— The End —
