02​-​I've Never Been This Old Before, But I'll Never Be This Young Again

from Live at Philadelphia Folk Festival by Matthew Gordon & Silvershade Scenery

lyrics

What was that noise? Just be quiet for a second.
Was it some kind of rodent that the cat let in?
Did I leave the door open? I mean, I just can't even...
Well, come in relax and join me, I'm just sittin' down eatin'.
I'm just trying to keep going, it's good to see you my dear friends.
I've never been this old before- but I'll never be this young again.

Sometimes I feel so tired with the weight of the world.
People everywhere up front with their flags unfurled.
So many diseases that can never be cured.
People believing every crazy idea they've ever heard!
I'm just minding my own business, unless I've got a helping hand to lend.
I've never been this old before, but I'll never be this young again.

The past ain't gonna change, and the future's unknown.
What you do with the present is up to you alone.
It's not getting any better, of that there's no doubt.
So just take it while you can for what it is right now.

I'm finding it's a thin line 'tween a wish and a worry.
The future's gonna come, ain't no reason to hurry.
I don't need to borrow trouble. I don't need to feel sorry.
We won't know till then if it's a blizzard or a flurry.
Would you argue with a fish?
Would you try to debate with a hen?
I've never been this old before. But I'll never be this young again.
