So here we are, alone -
our children have
grown up and moved away.
living their own
lives, they say...
it all seems very strange
to me.

I don't understand their
ways:
our children amaze me all the
time
and I often wonder why they make me
feel
so sad and suddenly old.

Now we're
left with an empty home,
from our nest all the
birds have flown for foreign skies.
We're
discarded, of no further use,
though we gave
our kids all our youth and all our lives -
we
really tried.

Now there's only my wife and
me;
we used to have a family - now that's
gone
and only memories linger on...
it all
seems very wrong to me.

To our sorrows
they were quite deaf
and as soon as they could
they left us to our tears.
We always tried to
teach what was good -
yes, we gave our kids
all we could through all the years.

So
here we are at last;
the time has gone so fast
and so have my dreams.
I simply don't know what
it all means,
this pointless passage through
the night,
this autumn-time, this walk upon
the water....

I wonder how long
it will
be till this song
is sung by our own sons and
daughters?
