--from the Walter Ehresman album "Le Cafard" ('01).

Written while freshly divorced, approaching 40, and having to move into the obligatory "divorced guy" apartment in a funky part of town, Ehresman tells us.

lyrics

Ain't That Time
(© 2001 Walter Ehresman)

Ain't that time....................takes more days to feel ok;
Ain't that time....................a few more grey hairs today;
Ain't that time....................and all these kids with their tribal scars
Ain't that time....................think that I came from a police car, and


[chorus]
Oh, Bobby asked his momma if this really could be the end;
Between their rehab and their Jesus and their kids, you know there's been an attrition of friends;
and oh, there's nothing like divorce to make you wonder if you can start again;
Shooting headfirst down the barrel of the wrong side of the curve, I'm just a salmon in a youthful trend.


Ain't that time....................stagnation in my salary;
Ain't that time....................my home ain't what it used to be;
Ain't that time....................standard of living is slippin' down--
Ain't that time....................three flights of stairs in a funky part of town, and [chorus]
