It is only the fear of death keeps me living he say
A natural burial or cremation he does not care either way
He is not looking forward to his life's departure day
A grandfather long divorced from his wife Tess
His marriage to her did not end in happiness
Tess has remarried Steve lives on his own
And of better and healthier times he has known
One of the elder citizens of his side of the town
Steve says were i born into life as a horse by now i would have been put down
With a heart pacemaker helping to keep him alive
He says time has stripped him of his sexual drive
Gray haired and balding the years on him show
Years ago fit and healthy time has him walking slow
His last partner Joan left him five years ago
She now is the lover of his former friend Joe
He has turned eighty his better days long gone
It is his fear of death that keeps Steve living on
Handsome, brown haired, tall and athletic in his physical prime
One more who has become a victim of time.
