Close Another Door

Many years have passed, it seems

And now, I'm all alone

I've sent the children far away

To some obscure unknown

It's so sad

So sad

Close another door

Listen to my eyes

Close another door

You're much too old to work

So won't you run away?

When I was young, I used to say

That age won't bother me

The life I had was very sad

It all went out to sea

It's so sad

So, so sad

Close another door

Listen to my eyes

Close another door

You're much too old to work

So won't you run away?

Though the sun is in outside

The rain is in my hair

Now all my life is lived inside

My home is in my chair

It's so sad

So, so sad

Close another door

Listen to my eyes

Close another door

You're much too old to work

So won't you run away?

Let me go

Send me flowers and

Put me on a plane

I've paid before

But I've been told

At least I'm still around

Fly me young, fly to wrap me up

And get me up

I been working so, so very hard

At being young but now I'm out of time

I'm out, take me home mama

Said I'm worth it, worth it, worth it

I survive
