Treat Her Gently/Lonely Old People

Treat her gently. Treat her kind

She doesn't even know her own mind

Treat her simply, take it slow

Make it easy, let her know

You'll never find another way



Here we sit, two lonely old people

Drinking our lives away

Bit by bit, two lonely old people

Keeping the time of day



Here we sit, out of breath

And nobody asked us to play

Old people's home for the day

Nobody asked us to play



So treat her gently, treat her kind

She doesn't even know her own mind

Treat her sickly, make it slow

Take it easy, let her know

You'll never find another way



Here we sit, two lonely old people

Drinking our lives away

Bit by bit, two lonely old people

Keeping the time of day



Here we sit, out of breath

And nobody asked us to play

Old people's home for the day

Nobody asked us to play
