As old Joe sat a dyin'
The baby down the hall was cryin'
Somebody had a party goin' on
The fat boy you told tales to
Moved away the other day
To think with no goodbye
He could have gone
A postcard from Sun City
Was found layin' by your side
A kind of desert place
Where old folks dry away
You gazed out through the window
At the wonders of the sky
As if it were the first time every day
Chorus:
There ain't no-one left alive to call me Joe
You used to say
No-one left alive
To call me Joe.
You've been beyond the boundaries
Understood it all
And thought of nothing
The ultimate was simple to your eyes
Just watch the world make madness
As the youth cried their replies
An old man knows far better than to try.
They say towards the end
You hardly left your shabby room
Where once you loved to go
*Walkin'
Thru' the day
Sit back and watch a spider
Weave your window
'Cross the moon
And meals on wheels
Laughed kindly
When you'd say
There ain't no-one left alive to call me Joe
To call me Joe
No-one left alive to call me Joe.Feel my little heart
It's broken just tonight
Every little teardrop, baby, .......
Understand the game
Queen of broken hearts
Oh, you win and lose
Now, take it apart
Oh, yeah, it's extasy - next to me
Oh, baby, it's fantasy, just with me
Come and hold my hand - understand the name of the game
Too young, too young to get steady
Too young to fall in love
Too young, too young to get ready
Too young for that stuff
How can I be sure ?
Oh, my lonely heart
Some ...................- some hearts break apart
Time is on my side - make it your own
There must be a way - feeling good alone
Oh, it's extasy - next to me
Oh babe, it's fantasy - just with me
Come and hold my hand - understand the name of the game
Threat me like a child, babe
If my love could shine
Cry for me, my baby
I almost lost my mind
Come and feel my heart babe
Next babe to your heart
Come on, come on baby
Try a start
