Mrs. Tanner

Old Mrs. Tanner down by the bend Felt the cold touch of death brush once again Bedridden downtrodden Called up her friend She told her this Remember our youth gone out to the bars Roses in June Lookin' out at the stars Warm nights in the city Time tickin' all the while 'Fore the sun rose she drew her last breath Her son stood beside her she lied motionless All he could was try his best To remember her words Remember your youth go out to the bars Roses in June Look out at the stars Warm nights in the city Time tickin' all the while Oh god It's coming my way Why don't the reaper Sow the debts we pay And free flies time's arrow That's all we know It soars one direction Down the winding road So remember your youth go out to the bars Roses in June Look out at the stars Warm nights in the city Time tickin' all the while
