"Place To Be"

When I was young, younger than before

I never saw the truth hanging from the door

And now I'm older, see it face to face

And now I'm older, gotta get up, clean the place

And I was green, greener than the hill

Where flowers grew and the sun shone still

Now I'm darker than the deepest sea

Just hand me down, give me a place to be

And I was strong, strong in the sun

I thought I'd see when day was done

Now I'm weaker than the palest blue

Oh, so weak in this need for you
