getting deaf and going bald

Olive Trees With Yellow Sky And Sun, Vincent Van Gogh
**
I'm tired of seeing humans  talking to themÂ
and I'm tired of having humans speak to meÂ
why can't they just shut up and go awayÂ
not my wife of course  I like her a lotÂ
and not the guy who fixes me carÂ
everyone else  outÂ
I'm putting my foot down at lastÂ
**
I ripped the band-aid from my wound long agoÂ
that way fresh air and sunshine could get to itÂ
and help it heal  also people could see itÂ
why hide a perfectly good woundÂ
some asked if the wound was realÂ
or did it hurt  yes it's real I saidÂ
but somehow it doesn't hurt anymoreÂ
**
yeah  my knees are shotÂ
my left hip and my lower backÂ
also hurt quite oftenÂ
I'm getting deaf and going baldÂ
and it's harder to remember thingsÂ
there's a lot of me that's messed upÂ
but my heartÂ
man  that's golden

I have always believed, and I still believe, that whatever good or bad fortune may come our way we can always give it meaning and transform it into some thine else.
