Close Another Door Lyrics

Many years have passed, it seems
And now, I'm all alone
I've sent the children far away
To some obscure unknown
It's so sad
So sad

Close another door
Listen to my eyes
Close another door
You're much too old to work
So won't you run away?

When I was young, I used to say
That age won't bother me
The life I had was very sad
It all went out to sea
It's so sad
So, so sad

Close another door
Listen to my eyes
Close another door
You're much too old to work
So won't you run away?

Though the sun is in outside
The rain is in my hair
Now all my life is lived inside
My home is in my chair
It's so sad
So, so sad

Close another door
Listen to my eyes
Close another door
You're much too old to work
So won't you run away?

Let me go
Send me flowers and
Put me on a plane
I've paid before
But I've been told
At least I'm still around

Fly me young, fly to wrap me up
And get me up
I been working so, so very hard
At being young but now I'm out of time
I'm out, take me home mama
Said I'm worth it, worth it, worth it
I survive
