Shortly after my friend Mike Hammond died in 2015, I wrote this song. Once I stop working, I want to properly record the song, but here are my lyrics. The image in my head is that we are growing old together, and yes, then we die individually.<\/p>\n
No one knows how this life works
\nNo secrets to be told
\nLet’s keep on praying and saying
\nWe’re just growing old
\nTogether
\nWe’ll keep on playing<\/p>\n
Booze has taken some friends of mine
\nI guess that death is part of it all
\nAre there lessons to be learned?
\nOr memories we can’t recall?<\/p>\n
Every year, the seasons change
\nSummers heat to winters cold
\nAin’t no reason to complain
\nWe’re just growing old
\nTogether
\nWe’ll keep on playing<\/p>\n
Darling, put your hands in mine
\nAnd look up to the sky
\nEverything will be just fine
\nFor you and I.
\nWe’ll keep on playing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
Shortly after my friend Mike Hammond died in 2015, I wrote this song. Once I stop working, I want to properly record the song, but here are my lyrics. The image in my head is that we are growing old together, and yes, then we die individually. Running down the ragged road of life No time to think of where it goes I got some money in the bank. What it all means, nobody knows. No one knows how this life works No secrets to be told Let’s keep on praying and saying We’re just growing old Together We’ll keep on playing Booze has taken some friends of mine I guess that death is part of it all Are there lessons to be learned? Or memories we can’t recall? Every year, the seasons change Summers heat to winters cold Ain’t no reason to complain We’re just growing old Together We’ll keep on playing Darling, put your hands in mine And look up to the sky Everything will be just fine For you and I. We’ll keep on playing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":5668,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[7,8],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/chengrob.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5232"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/chengrob.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/chengrob.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chengrob.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chengrob.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5232"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/chengrob.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5232\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5234,"href":"https:\/\/chengrob.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5232\/revisions\/5234"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chengrob.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5668"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/chengrob.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5232"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chengrob.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5232"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chengrob.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5232"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
