[00:12.06]There's nothing unusual about the way my day begins
[00:16.23]As I walk up and down the streets with my mailpouch in my hands
[00:22.95]I've run this route for years everybody knows my name
[00:29.4]Especially at the old folks home which I call the House of Shame
[00:37.62]The old folks home is my last stop that's where I end my daily rout
[00:44.13]And my mailpouch is usually empty by then not always but just about
[00:53.85]Except for an accosional letter and they all wait anxiously
[00:58.89]With sad eyes that said the question is there anything for me
[01:07.26]And I hear their trembling voices as they talk back and forth
[01:12.78]I guess the children're just too busy to write
[01:17.1]They've got a lot of things to do of course
[01:23.25]And I try to cheer 'em up and say things to make 'em feel better
[01:28.770004]Then I think to myself just how little effort it takes to write a letter
[01:36.6]Their old and wrinkled faces and hair as white as snow
[01:43.2]And memories locked up in their minds that only they could know
[01:49.5]I spent many hours there at the end of each day's run
[01:55.229996]Trying in some way to fill the place of a daughter or a son
[02:03.57]And I listen as they tell me of their families of days gone by
[02:08.75]And the sadness there at times is so great I can't help but cry
[02:18.36]And thought it's reality it seems more like a dream
[02:23.37]That some of them have grandchildren that they've never even seen
[02:31.17]And I think it's just a shame that children they have raised
[02:36.95999]Would put 'em in this House of Shame to spend their later days
[02:44.13]So there they sit just waitin' waitin' for letters they never get
[02:50.43]Waitin' for children that never come by waitin' just waitin' to die
[03:00.03]You see my folks are old now too and we've put 'em in a home
[03:07.47]But the difference is they live with us and they'll never be alone
