It's Almost Quitting Time Lyrics

If only I could tell
To spend your lifetime well
Is what your daddy said
When standing beside your bed

Your children, will they find
This tragedy behind
The world that tends to slip
As we have lost our grip

I'm afraid that when this is over
I am gone myself
Everybody's got their version
of life's carousel

Closing down the lines
It's almost quitting time
Yesterday is gone
Forget the coming dawn

I'm afraid that when this is over
I am gone myself
Everybody's got their version
of life's carousel
