You're Not Gonna Live Forever

My dear friend, it’s no good to just sit around thinking,

“Who might put a light in their eye,”

Now that you’re old news.

My lovely friend, you’re good.

Your heart is an open book.

Your old life’s not coming back - maybe a new one could. 

“Why don’t you quit feeling so bad?” 

Your friends say that it’s easy - they’ve read a book about it.

You’re not gonna live forever, no, one day you’re gonna die. 

Better come down from that lonely mountain while you’ve still got time.
