Here's to a long life
Here's to a long life
Here's to a long life
Here's to a long life

Here's to a long life
Here's to a long life
Here's to a long life
Here's to a long life

For the end, I'm in a home
All my friends have long since gone
The staff are cold but rules are rules
How can children be so cruel?

If I could leave I wouldn't stay
Never thought I'd end this way
Death is welcome, why'd she wait?

Tell her I said so
Tell her I said so
Tell her I said so
Tell her I said so

Out the window seasons change
Here inside it's all the same
With the snow the birds have flown

Tell her I said so
Tell her I said so
Tell her I said so
Tell her I said so

We all pray for longer life
Longer life, stuck in some home
Home's a word, cuts like a knife
No one chooses to grow old

Put your mark upon my door
I don't play here anymore
This delay is just a bore

Tell her I said so
Tell her I said so
Tell her I said so
Tell her I said so
Tell her I said so

Here's to a long life
Here's to a long life
Here's to a long life
Here's to a long life

Here's to a long life
Here's to a long life
Here's to a life
That's lived so long

Here's to a long life
Here's to a long life
Here's to a long life
Here's to a long life

Here's to a long life
Here's to a long life
Here's to a life
That's lived so long

Here's to a long life
Here's to a long life
Here's to a long life
Here's to a long life

Here's to a long life
Here's to a long life
Here's to a life
That's lived too long
