The Hoary Gentleman

In the very beginning 

I believed that Boogie Man was true

And now that I'm ending

I know that Boogie Man's true

I can't remember well

My mind's a torn tome

My neighbour helps me in

Back inside my home

I think I was once married

A long time ago

Was it a daughter that she carried?

Lord, I don't know

I wasn't very young

But I didn't lose my soul

I used to be so fun

Now I was busy playing old

Dust on my toothbrush

And the dry shower head

Flames licked at my feet

And my tooth did bled

She wasn't born too late

It was I who was early

I know I wasn't there

When she really needed me

But I did lose the key

For my heart's little door

Can you help me find it?

I'll be grateful, forevermore

Hey Boogie Man

Don't you Boogie no more

We have played enough

Now it's time to go home
