Living Life Away

has anyone got a heart for sale?
i'll pay you when i can
my daddy is dying
and he is a good man

destiny took his wife
age takes his weary life
growing weaker every day
living all his life away

daddy, why must you die?
why can't you live if you try
our ways have pounded you since birth
as gravity pulls you to the earth

has anyone got a mind for sale?
my daddy is getting slow
getting deaf and hard to see
someday, it will be me

destiny took his wife
age takes his weary life
growing weaker every day
living all his life away

daddy, why must nature
wear on us this way?
why must we die if we try to get by
with each passing day?

try to find a way back home
back to where you belong
