Many years have passed, it seems
And I am all alone
I've sent the children far away
To some obscure unknown
It's so sad, so sad
Close another door
Listen to my eyes
Close another door
You're much too old to work
So won't you run away?
When I was young, I used to say
That age won't bother me
The life I had was very sad
It all went out to sea
It's so sad, so sad
Close another door
Listen to my eyes
Close another door
You're much too old to work
So won't you run away?
Though the sun is in outside
The rain is in my hair
Now all my life is lived inside
My home is in my chair
It's so sad, so sad
Close another door
Listen to my eyes
Close another door
You're much too old to work
So won't you run away?
Let me go
Send me flowers and put me on a plane
I may be old but I've been told
At least I'm still alive
Fly me up
Fly me up and send me home
I've been working so, so very hard and
At being young but now I'm tired
