Hey little one
one day you will be old & I will be gone gone gone
With death all around
All my autumn branches, they are dragging on the ground
So come consider your tongue
Laying loose in your mouth, oh & cursing all the young
Ye poor & maimed
Halt & blind, if you thirst & happy you would be
Say these eyes are blind
You can drink your water & true valiance you'll find
Then just like the birds
All flown from their branches oh & skyward I am bund
Then come & steady your nerves
On this cask of opiated wine wine wine
And hey little one
soon this life is over & another one begun
Hey little one
one day you will be old & I will be gone gone gone
