The old folks have stopped taking their meds
They're not doing their exercises anymore
They've put down their ice cream spoons
And now they're just looking for the door
There's a warm wind blowing through the trees outside
Think I'll open up some windows
Put that in that box over there, you know
All this stuff has to go
It's a new year, some changes are coming
And I gotta make some room
For all the flowers
Getting ready to bloom
The old folks have stopped watching the TV
They've put down the TV Guide
They're looking out into the distance
Like they're waiting on a ride
There's a warm wind blowing through the trees outside
Let's go sit out in the sun
And listen to the birds sing
This packing's almost done
It's a new year, some changes are coming
And I gotta make some room
For all the flowers
Getting ready to bloom
The old folks are on their way
If you see them, say hello
We'll get this room emptied soon, you know-
It's all gotta go
There's a warm wind blowing through the trees outside
The sun is shining down
I need to feel the earth on my skin
I want to put my hands in the ground
It's a new year, some changes have come
And I gotta make some room
For all the flowers
Getting ready to bloom
