Feb 2022 folk melancholy reflective insomnia
A song to start the day
In the autumn of my days
It’s harder talking to strangers
What can you say
In a sincere way?
Creatures of habit
Dogs and jack rabbits
How do you put into words?
The weirdness of things that occur?
I close my eyes, and hope sleep will take me
Dead to the world, feeling carefree
Still I am wondering, still I am asking
Distancing me from my dreams
Girl with balloons and dog on a lead
Pulling her in different directions
Revellers shouting, glad to be free
Sharing their love and affection with me
The clock will not stop for them
Endlessly moving on
Into the morning
Leaving the night behind
In the autumn of my days

I really enjoyed this one. As a middle-aged guy who lives in a foreign country, it's pretty relatable.
