Ducks are swimming in the water
In the park we used to go to
August means the end of summer
Another year has shortened time
The smell of grass that’s just been cut
In the park of my childhood
Waking up is such a sad thing
Knowing you have slept too long
Wonder why I am so tired
I can hardly carry my own weight
All my energy’s been wasted
From the start I’ve been too late
Ducks swimming in the water
Seagulls flying in the sky
I still don’t know where I’m going
Guess I’m only passing by
Old man walking by real slowly
Will I ever look like you
Mums and daddies with their babies
You know I still think of you
I can’t sit I must lie down
I can’t walk I got to run
I can’t see the world around me
Blinded by a merciless sun
Life’s a highway I can’t get on
See the others pass so fast
They all got a place they’re going
Expected by somebody else
The smell of grass that’s just been cut
Brings back feelings I forgot
I never got on that highway
I guess there hasn’t changed a lot
