[00:00:37] He said I'm old kind of worn out inside

[00:01:13] Through the eye of the needle I'll carry them home

[00:01:27] The rain hit the old dog in the twilights last gleaming

[00:01:31] 在微弱的晨光中 雨点打在那只老狗身上

[00:01:31] He said son it sounds like rattling old bones

[00:02:11] Days turn to minutes

[00:02:57] 我用我的方式来处理一切问题 为此我付出代价

[00:02:57] When I think back on the old man and the bus ride

[00:03:01] 回想起老人在车上的话

[00:03:01] Now that I'm older I can see he was right
