Curtain Call

[@gyllessmyth]

Lyrics and Music: Charles Gilles Smith
In my twilight of years, I stand alone,
A life half-lived, so much left undone.
Dreams left scattered like dust in the wind,
Choices I made, the fault lies within.
Thoughts of regret, haunting my soul,
An hourglass empties, taking its toll.
A canvas of moments, painted in gray,
I let chances slip and time fade away.
Left with regret for the path that I led,
A life of longing and words left unsaid.
Thoughts of regret, haunting my soul,
An hourglass empties, taking its toll.
Ghosts of what could’ve-been look down on me,
In mirrors of time, no reflection I see.
The orchestra stops, no sound in the hall,
In the theater of life, time for my curtain call.
In the fading twilight, no glimmer of grace,
I close my eyes, just silent space.
Can the curtain rise, cue the lights and then,
One more note for my requiem.
Ghosts of what could’ve-been look down on me,
In mirrors of time, no reflection I see.
The orchestra stops, no sound in the hall,
In the theater of life, time for my curtain call.
