Lyrics
And I know how it's to be
There is nothing more for you and I
Some are young and some are free
But I think I'm going blind
Cause, I think I'm going blind
And I know how it should be
Little lady, can't you see?
You're so young and different than I
I'm ninety three, you're sixteen
Can't you see I'm going blind?
Cause, I think I'm going blind
And I know how it should be
Cause, I think I'm going blind
And I know how it should be
You're much younger, can't you see?
There is nothing more for you and I
I'm ninety three, you're sixteen
And I think I'm going blind
Yes I think I'm going blind
And I know how it should be

Play that twice but keep in mind that the second time, the bass
plays something weird (a small scale). I think it's the bass or
perhaps there are two guitars..
