I am only twenty five
Aches and pains plague him
He still supports his son and wife
He was and is my best friend
And the fairest man I've had the good fortune to meet
But he is three and sixty and I am twenty five
He taught me how to drive
Poured me my first drink
Protected me from the monsters under my bed
Never failed to tell me a bed time story
But Time passes on and people grow old
And one day I will be three and sixty
Wondering if I'm needed anymore
Like that song that's playing in my head now
Will people send me Valentines
Birthday greetings or a bottle of wine?
The Bilge Master
