Boomer's Sundown

Boomer's Sundown by Richard Guimond ©2015

Whatever happened to those who said

''Don't trust anyone over thirty'

Well..., they are in their seventies now

And they are fading one by one 

Not a week passes without a tribute 

To some dead famous musician

Not a week passes without being asked

Hey guess who just passed away?

We, boomers are fading one by one

We are on the endangered species list 

Our time has passed, was such a good one 

Oh the kids got no clue of how it was!

What a ride from Elvis to the Punk era 

Rock'n Roll, Flower Power ...We will rock ya !

50's, 60's, 70's Oh what a ride! 

The 80's had to come to ruin it 

But the 90's gave us hope they went too

Then a new millennium came, attitudes changed 

As the twin towers fell, we went from 

Drug dealer theme to terrorism overnight 

From meeting in loud shiny malls

We met on the net, on FacelessBook

We get in contact with  people from forty years ago

They seem closer than anyone around us 

We fall into the nostalgia dark pit

As our senses fall one by one ...memories 

Everything changed ''All things must pass'' 

Only one thing resisted the flow of time 

Keith Richard is playing on a stage tonight!

I truly believe the end of humanity
happens the moment we stop feeling

If one disengages from emotions
They no longer hold purpose

The 70s was a time of emotionally high
positivism had to be present
If one can feel
they can be fully happy

guess we walked the same road Richard, lived the same times, liked and disliked the same times, you wrote my life in music so very well I thank you deeply, we had the best of times and the best musicians making the best music, i love that nostalgia pit and don't want to leave it, now we go one by one but there's a hell of a band up high, cept' Keith of course he's still on stage :)
