narrator : Derek Jacobi from The Return of Sherlock Holmes
I'm not growing younger and
It's a short drive through an accident
I'm not sure when we'll get there
Just be patient
Oxygen waning
But someday well have to fight for air
Devoted too easy
In loveless affairs
I have a feeling Colorado air's too high for breathing now
I quit when I was 30
I quit when my baby girl was born
I quit again at 40
Bells ...new year farewell
The drag on the next one
Is something I can look forward to
Something to slow the synapse
Something to do with my hands
I have a feeling Colorado air's too high for breathing now
