when we`re young

When we're young

When you are young, say, twenty-five you, say, things like
I hope not to be old not meet girls have sex, with a group of friends.
we didn't have any, sitting drinking
There used to be five of us we were at the top of the world
death was so far away.
Then the group shrank, one becomes a Jehovah witness,
one became a drifter two got married I was drinking alone
and somehow live was no longer glorious.
They are all dead now, but for some reason or as punishment
I lived on, although in another country.
Yet, I have no religious hang up, I believe that in death.
