Old Words / Don't Want to Be Last

Old words echo
But I've lost my beat
Something went
And I'm stuck in my seat

I hear those tunes
But I can't sing along
Time moved on
And so did my song

Here I am
Reciting old verse
But the funerals come
And this is my hearse

I'll part with this
A lament to my past
But the future beckons
And I don't want to be last
