entry 11-19-93 - Echolyn

I’ve left behind all my mistakes

Drawn like a map to find me

Here’s a chance to relive my life

I’ll stay right here — it’s peaceful

Since I’ve signed away all of my time

That’s all I have anymore

I wait for the mail or someone to call

To take me away, I’m in the mood

How soon we forget, I have no regret

I don’t remember, they won’t let me forget

My birthday suit is wrinkled

I sit by my window tied to this chair

They’ve turned off my set, it’s quiet time

How soon we forget, I have no regret

No one could touch me in my prime

I was Fred Astaire to the ladies

I was Errol Flynn, as Robin Hood, for myself

With my band of men, we’d be off again

I would give anything to be young like that

If only for a day

The mail was late again today

I can’t shake this chill

I’m tired

I won’t give in

It’s not my style

Tomorrow buys me one more try

How soon we forget, I have no regret
