No Wishes Left

 

It happened when I wasn’t looking

for a sec, I looked away –

Suddenly I’m very old,

I’ve wasted most my days.

I’ll never buy a villa

learn a language, live in France,

It’s hard enough to get around

I doubt I’ll ever dance,

The train has left the station

all my baggage I still hold

I had my chance to climb aboard

but now, I’m just too old.

They’ll never sell a ticket

to the likes of me, no doubt

Whose cake has all been eaten

and whose candles have gone out.
