Chorus And the wise man said Never take your life for granted And he always told me To watch out where you're standin' But I never listened to him And now my life is coming to an end Yes, my life is closing to an end.
I remember when I used to be So very careless, so very free Drifting right through life. Now, as I look back I realize a simple fact Consequences can be sharp as a knife.
Chorus
Oh, the dark shadow's coming over me I wish things were the same as they used to be I would've listened to the wise man And all he had to say I would've stayed on the right road Wouldn't have gone astray. And now my problem is The way I am today I'm just so glad That my life is going away.
Chorus
