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
