(EN) The Old Man's Life (Blues)

Слова навеяны фразой "It's good to warm my bones beside the fire" из композиции "Time" группы Pink Floyd (альбом 1973 года The Dark Side of the Moon, в районе 6:22). Накропал текст, нахрипел как мог, Суня сделала всё остальное.

The Old Man's Life.

Old man's life, hard old man's life...

I pass the old mirror, patina clouds its face,
The reflection's tired, but my mind is still young and fast!
My closet's full, but the trends long gone,
Just ghosts of adolescence I keep trying to put on!

Every year, a piece of my paycheck,
Disappears to buy another year,
Hard routine work at the job I hate,
Endless bills to clear...

But deep inside, my blood still races like I'm seventeen! Wild! Chasing free!

Old man's bones walking the line,
But a fire in my blood keeps pushing back on time.
Tired eyes see the rent to pay,
But this spirit's still a kid just trying to break away!

Old man's bones walking the line,
But a fire in my blood keeps pushing back on time.
Tired eyes see the rent to pay,
But this spirit's still a kid just trying to break away!

Old man's life, hard old man's life...
