there comes a time

once again i've changed my mind
for the seven-thousandth time.
once again i've lost my way
so i put it off for another day.

once again you pass me by
but i think i will not cry.
once again i fade away
'cause i put it off for another day.

once again i change my mind
for the seven-millionth time.
once again i've found my way.
i won't put it off for another day.

once again i try to try.
why i do, i don't know why.
once again you turn away
so i put it off for another day.

lately i've been thinking about my grandpa. he's getting senile and can't remember things from one day to the next. so his own relatives are helping him move his stuff out of his house so he can move into a rest home to be taken care of. of course, they help themselves to what they want, since he's too senile to remember what he owns these days. my other grandpa died of emphysema after a stroke. he told me he smoked since he was five. i always wonder what will happen when i get old. will my kids steal from me or will i die of some disease, regretting my life? i hope not. i hope i treated my grandfathers with respect too. i used to play the clarinet in fifth through eighth grade and practice at my grandpa's house. i played when he was dying at home. i played at his funeral. now i've changed instruments, but i think this song is for him too.
