The old man said to me
Said don't always take life
so seriously
Play the flute and dance and
sing your song
Try and enjoy the here
and now
The future will take care of
itself somehow
The grass is never greener
over there
Time will wear away the stone
Gets the hereditary bone
Don't try to live your life
in one day
Don't go speed your
time away
Don't try to live your life
in one day
Don't go speed your
time away
The old man said to me
Said you can't change the
world single-handedly
Raise a glass
Enjoy the scenery
Pretend the water
is champagne
And fill my glass
again and again
While the wolves are gathering
'round your door
Time will wear away the stone
Gets the hereditary bone
Don't try to live your life
in one day
Don't go speed your
time away
Don't try to live your life
in one day
Don't go speed your
time away
Don't try to live your life
in one day
Don't go speed your
time away
Don't try to live your life
in one day
Don't go speed your
time away
The old man said to me
Said don't always take life
so seriously
Play the flute and dance and
sing your song
Try and enjoy the here
and now
The future will take care of
itself somehow
The grass is never greener
over there
Time will wear away the stone
Gets the hereditary bone
I tried to live my life
in one day
I bit off more than
I can chew
Wolves are gathering
'round my door
I tried to live my life
in one day
Don't try to live your life
in one day
Don't go speed your
time away
Don't try to live your life
in one day
Don't go speed your
time away
Don't try to live your life
in one day
Don't go speed your
time away
