Lyrics
PEACE & QUIET BLUES copyright Marni Sheehan 2006
I reached the time of life where I enjoy some peace & quiet
I reached the time of life where I enjoy some peace & quiet
I'm givin' up cigarette smoking I'm on the liver cleansing diet
You know the signs of ageing are a creeping up on me x 2
I got wrinkles I got dimples where there never used to be
Well I've become forgetful it happens several times a day x 2
I'm doin crosswords for my memory, tell me what did I just say
All my friends have got arthritis, bad backs and dodgy livers too
Some are dearly departed from rockin pneumonia & boogie woogie flu
I thought I saw the devil out the corner of my eye x 2
Wonder is he come to get me or is he just passing by
I reached the time of life to treasure family & friends x 2
And in the arms of my loved ones I hope someday that's where my journey ends
But not, but not too soon
