Lyrics
Spring is coming from what I hear
Anticipation of the arrival of spring
Thaws the bones, tickles the ears
Spring's warmth and rejuvenation
Flowers blooming early this year
Early blossoming of flowers
Lake is gleaming crystal clear
The lake is clear and shining
Time ticks by, slowed down
Reflection on the slow passage of time
Haven't changed my dressing gown
Comfort in familiar routines, like wearing a dressing gown
Everyone has settled down
Observing others settling into a routine
Somewhere else besides this old town
Longing for a different place outside the current town
When I'm older
Contemplation of aging
Hair turned to twine
Metaphorical transformation of hair into twine
Stood the test of time
Endurance and resilience over time
When I'm older
Reiteration of the determination to be fine in old age
I swear that I'll be fine
Expressing confidence in overcoming challenges
I hope to god
A sense of reliance on a higher power (God)
I'll be fine
A hopeful affirmation of well-being
Back in my day, we'd walk down the street
Nostalgia for a past era when walking down the street was common
Pass store fronts to find a bite to eat
Searching for food while exploring storefronts
Gazing at the sights to see
Enjoying the sights and experiences of the past
On the way we'd pass a ripe fruit tree
Passing by a fruitful tree on the way
I don't go out anymore
Withdrawal from social activities due to age
Too much commotion for this old bore
Aversion to commotion and preference for solitude
Rather sit by the shore
Desire for peaceful moments by the shore
Pray we stop fighting pointless wars
Wishing for an end to unnecessary conflicts and wars
When I'm older
Reflection on aging while enjoying fine wine
Drinking fine wine
Indulging in the pleasures that come with age
Stood the test of time
Emphasizing the endurance of time
When I'm older
Reaffirming the belief in personal well-being
I swear that I'll be fine
Expressing hope and confidence in the future
I hope to god
Reiteration of reliance on a higher power
I'll be fine
A sincere hope for future well-being
When I'm older
Reflecting on life's journey at the finish line of old age
At the finish line
Stressing the enduring nature of personal resilience
Stood the test of time
Reaffirming determination to withstand the test of time
When I'm older
Reiteration of the commitment to personal well-being
I swear that I'll be fine
Hopeful affirmation of being fine in the future
I hope to god
Expression of reliance on a higher power for future well-being
I'll be fine
A sincere hope for continued well-being in the future
