Now That I've Taken My Life
Tom Paxton

Now that I've taken my life, hiding the dampenings

Scouring the stubborn stains erasing them carefully.

Breaking the dreams of a life and interring them pray fully

My telephone never stops ringing

Now that I've taken my life

Now that I've taken my life, pleading reality

Mumbling moralities, and loosing the child I was.

Smiling my youth to the wall and recalling how wild I was

I'm a very popular man

Now that I've taken my life

It was a foolish life I know ivory towered and quite out of touch

It was a life that had to go I guess I won't miss it much.

For the solid gold winners are standing in line

And dangling a solid gold key

They take me to dinner they pour me my wine

They ask very little of me

Now that I've taken my life, remembering the April air

My hands in a cursory prayer my eyes and the crowd outside

The music is merry the laughter is comfortably loud outside

And the laughter I'm hearing is mine

Now that I've taken my life

It was a foolish life I know ivory towered and quite out of touch

It was a life that had to go I guess I won't miss it much.

For the solid gold women are standing in line

And dangling a solid gold key

The very best hostesses pour me my wine

Extending their daughters to me

Now that I've taken my life, hiding the dampenings

Scouring the stubborn stains erasing them carefully.

Breaking the dreams of a life and interring them pray fully

Ah there's clearly no stopping me now

Now that I've taken my life.
