"I wish I was dead", he said with a smile
"I turn ninetyeight when the warm summer wind hits fall
I outlived everyone - and that´s no life...
I would give everything that I have - to bring them back..."
"My thoughts sometimes, cruelly, play me a prank
that I´m still a young man - deep inside...
But those wrinkles on my hands - have reached out and touched life...
come what may - I´m not afraid to die..."
CHORUS:
He said his middle name was "Courage"
I could see that he was almost blind...
yet - he saw things much clearer than You and I...
Yeah - his middle name was "Courage"
he walked here for quite some time now
- Living forever is not on everyone´s mind...
---------
"I can see the sun - when I squint and close my eyes...
and I can feel the mild breeze - but I´m cold inside...
seems like only memories can keep me warm...
Time does that to you when You´ve lived for as long as I..."
"The doctors says - that my heart - is just fine - /what do they know?/
and that it will go on - and on -´til the end of time
But that young man behind the counter - who sold me this gun...
he just took a good look at my face - (and) never asked me why..."
CHORUS:
He said his middle name was "Courage"
I could see that he was almost blind...
yet - he saw things much clearer than You and I...
Yeah - his middle name was "Courage"
and he walked here for quite some time now...
- Living forever is not on everyone´s mind...
