New day rising, come close the blue blinds
 
 I’ll be lying in my ocean of time
 
  
  I could dress as Arthur Lee
 
 Scrape my shoes the right way
 
 Maybe read Ulysses
 
 But it’s a young man’s game
  
 
 Dying fire, so tired of this place
 
 Not inspired, can’t keep to this pace
  
 
 I could worry through each night
 
 Find something unique to say
 
 I could pass as erudite
 
 But it’s a young man’s game
  
 
 You should know
 
 You’re my last hope
  
 
 I’ve been solving for the meaning of life
 
 No one tried before and likely I’m right
  
 
 Not too straight or too clean
 
 Like your borrowed blue bike
 
 I’ve been a rolling antique
 
 For all my life
  
 
 You should know
 
 You’re my last hope
  
 
 I’ve been lucky as sin
 
 Not one thing in my way
 
 Just the arena I was in
 
 But it’s a young man’s game
