A breeze seeps in through my window sill
The curtains flutter, i just lie still
As faint sound of surf awakens me
I fade out of the softest dream
Of girls with eyes of starry gleams
I don't want this day to come
Cause it feels like i am getting old way too fast
If you wonder why, please don't ask
To stay indoors tonight would suit me fine
Cause it feels like every smile
Every gla** of wine
Would bring me further from denial
I want nothing to remind me
It's my birthday
The morning paper holds nothing new
My coffee's black, and so's my mood
But faint sound of surf keeps me awake
I don't intend to run out of steam
But i will cling to soft daydreams
Until this blue day is done
Cause it feels like i am getting old way too fast
If you wonder why, please don't ask
To stay indoors tonight would suit me fine
Cause it feels like every smile
Every gla** of wine
Would bring me further from denial
I want nothing to remind me
It's my birthday
I count the candles on my cake
And i burn them at both ends
Where do i go now, where do i hide
Can i rise from this decline?
