Retirement Song Lyrics

You turned on the faucet

To the garden hose

Now the water flows through it all

We sat in the garden,

And pulled the weeds like they asked us to

I've retired my dying

Until my very last day this time, day this time

And when the earth holds me

I won't have a say this time, say this time

You held my hand then and you held the phone

And you held the phone when I called

But you didn't have to

As you watched me fall

As you watched me fall

I should have been stronger

Been the rock that you need me to be

Not skipped or pulled under

Into the waves or washed out to sea

I've retired my dying

Until my very last day this time,

day this time

And when the earth takes me,

I just won't have a say this time

Say this time

I've retired my dying

Until my very last day this time

I won't go out crying

I just won't have a say this time

Say this time
