Jack McKeon

Jack Aloysius McKeon (; born November 23, 1930), nicknamed "Trader Jack," is an American former Major League Baseball manager and front-office executive.

I've tried, to untangle my mind, to make sense of these signs
But I can't seem to
And just when, I see the light on the other end, there dangling by the thread
The last days of my youth

It's a paler shade of blue, between what's left of you
And the rest, of our borrowed time
And it ain't nothing new, standing 'round just like a fool
Till the sun falls from the sky

Well I guess, I couldn't pass the test, I was never like the rest
Always lonely seldom on my own
But things change, we break down and rearrange, between happiness and the pain
Many blessings go untold

It's a paler shade of blue, between what's left of you
And the rest, of our borrowed time
And it ain't nothing new, standing 'round just like a fool
Till the sun falls from the sky

As we go farther, it's getting harder
To know, just what we hope to find
I'm digging deeper, for something sweeter - ohhhh
But all that's there is a six foot box of pine
And I know one day it's mine

It's a paler shade of blue, between what's left of you
And the rest, of our borrowed time
And it ain't nothing new, some men are prophets, some are fools
Who get lost, in their own design
