The words
An aging man takes stock of a life that is fading toward its end, though night has not quite fallen.
An aging man takes stock of a life that is wearing out, admitting that he feels detached from the world and weighed down by everything he has seen and lost. The verses move slowly and evenly, each one coming back to the sense that the end is close but has not quite arrived. He speaks of failed love, of travel, and of understanding little more now than before. The tone is resigned and unhurried, sad without self-pity.
