Track 9 of this years Rpm challenge 2023 covering the concept of age and the effect on poor old Reg…

The blue of the sky slowly succumbs to the breeze
Those little cloud start to grey and look in need
The leaves start to fall away from the tree
As the zest of life slowly starts to leave
As the zest of life slowly starts to leave

Three score and ten thats all they say we have
As the big book says that’s where its gotta to stop
So make sure you have a yourself a roller coaster of a ride
before big book says we all gotta die
Yeah before that big book says we all gotta die
yeah that big book maybe it tells lies

So have yourself a roller coaster of a ride
cause that big book just might of told you lies
Yeah that big book might just of told you a lie

When your young you have no fear its so far away
Its not the sort of thing you worry about day to day
But the winter is about to tell you its on its our way
You have to think about it all and try to put it all away
Put it to the back of your mind and lock it away

You say your gonna live a life thats full of meaning
You wake every morning to fill every hour of the day
Your gonna do the best to have the best of life yeah
But the truth the winter is always near
The leaves fall from the tree leaving it bare
The leaves fall from the tree leaving it bare
