Empty Nesters歌词完整版
The kids are reared and now are gone
Mary Jane and even John
It now a house, not a home no more
Empty nesters we've become
No one to call us dad and mum
The clock up on the wall is running slow
Oh we know that we should strive
We should take it in our stride
We want you to enjoy yourselves you know
Enough of this self pity lark
Lets seize the day, make a fresh start
Do those things we hadn't time to try
Lets get crazy, lets get weird
I'll disappear behind a beard
We'll leave our old life on the next high tide
Washing clothes, sorting socks
Who'd ever think we'd miss all that
Picking berries down those country lanes
Arguments bout who does what
You are a brat, do I look fat
I'm never gonna speak to you again
But now I walk into your room
I don't need to bring a broom
Tidiness tells, there's no one there
But what was it we told the kids
The world's your oyster, go and live
No excuses, explanations, nor regrets
Now can we take our own advice
Downsize the house, go somewhere nice
And spend it all before our day is done
All that striving, ain't it gas
We're no longer working class
We have crossed a golden bridge, now amongst the privileged
We'll just have a little plot
Grow some lettuce, maybe pot
A sunny spot, a little nook, to snooze off with our library books
We're at ease, not on our knees
No pressure, no profanities
No longer prone to insanities of youth
Cause age just says how long you've been
Not how long you've got
So let life rip, we'll live it,
until the day we drop
