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, So I've been told At least I'm alive
