Afraid to Grow Old

*Couplet 1* When the words that I speak Are worn out, overused and pale Endlessly repeating themselves And sick of all indifference The signs of a brand new age Translated into yesterday’s terms When experience is chewed again Until it’s labeled wisdom earned Then I know I will grow old Then I know I will grow old --- *Refrein* I have never feared the time That will carve its lines in my skin But if it makes dry and tasteless What was fresh and sharp within Then I’m afraid to grow old I’m afraid to grow old --- *Couplet 2* When surrender comes to me Disguised as daily routine And I will gladly let her in Let her quietly settle in When all pain and all the joy Turn to habits made of stone That I won’t even truly hate But simply call my own When my heart must warm itself On the glow of former fire Then I know I will grow old I know I will grow old --- *Refrein* I have never feared the time That will carve its lines in my skin But if it makes dry and tasteless What was fresh and sharp within Then I’m afraid to grow old I’m afraid to grow old --- *Couplet 3* When love is slowly wearing down And reduced to longing for the past To heroic deeds long gone Because the finest game won’t last When the beauty starts to fade If it’s played too many times And every single move is known Every step already signed When loving you no longer feels Like something new again Then I know I will grow old I know I will grow old --- *Laatste refrein* I have never feared the time That will carve its lines in my skin But if it makes dry and tasteless What was fresh and sharp within Then I’m afraid to grow old I’m afraid to grow old I’m afraid to grow old
