I know you stare out the window Staying up all night alone You think they’ll come and get you out And all problems are solved How long you think you can stand Sitting on the stone when the rain is real bad How long, how long, how long? You’re waiting on the stone Don’t you know you’re getting old? You’re on your own
When you get older And you feel so much colder You shame yourself You could be someone else Your black folder is a weight on your shoulder Hope time will release you And you’ll be free
I know you stare out the window Thinking you’re not alone Where have the good times gone By now you know how low you can do How long you think you can stand Sitting on the stone when the rain is real bad How long, how long, how long? You’re waiting on the stone Don’t you know you’re getting old? You’re on your own
