Body and matter just flow Into an infinite number of variables Which can be meaningless or false Or disproved by scientific negotiations Whilst Love, Mind and Limb Are easily interchangeable In the hands of physicians Perfectly equipped With all the modern devices So you stand there, merely bewildered And looking at the Moon

Don’t be sad if I should say That once upon a time I was a young man Filled with thoughts of special beauty Living well on hopes But nothing solid Life, Life

If you are old, you may be moved You’ll know all things must pass And you will think about the song You sang when you were young And there was glory
