Oh well, nevermind the buzzcocks.

Oh well, nevermind the buzzcocks.
How does it end
What can be expected
When the time comes
A gradual acceptance
The will to revive
Declining
Every passing day
A sudden collapse
Of endeavour
As tired legs give way
When once they moved
With natural grace
A rhythmic chasse’
The gentle sway
Of a dancer
How will it be
To say ‘no, not this time
I will sit this one out’
Is that when we know
We are done
When our love
Of music is gone
We may like it enough
But no longer feel moved
To respond
To the call
Anxious we might fall
Afraid we might not
