Story behind the song
I very rarely write love songs, this is about saying goodbye and feeling old and worn out as a result...it's also very old I wrote this in 1972ish then revived it for the Buddha Grass Album...
Lyrics
Weary Past My Time
Many’s the time I’ve said I love you
And many's the time I've said I care
But I’m leavin’ in the morning
Oh and I, I ain’t comin’ back
Oh I thought you were so lonesome
And I thought I was the one
And I thought that you loved me
But it seems that I was wrong
I feel as though I’m getting old and weary past my time
And I’m never gonna see your face again
Oh you were all I ever wanted
Just to hold you tight
And you could have helped me make it
Through the long and lonely night
I feel as though I’m getting old and weary past my time
And I’m never gonna see your face again
I feel as though I’m getting old and weary past my time
And I’m never gonna see your face again
Many’s the time we talked of freedom
But the words seem empty now
And I said I’d give my world to you
Oh but you don’t need it now
I feel as though I’m getting old and weary past my time
And I’m never gonna see your face again
I feel as though I’m getting old and weary past my time
And I’m never gonna see you…
