Alice doesn't live here anymore.

Yusef Islam (Cat Stevens) said it best more than 30 years ago:


Oh very young 
What will you leave us this time? 
You're only dancing on this earth for a short while 
And though your dreams may toss and turn you now 
They will vanish away like your daddy's best jeans 
Denim blue fading up to the sky.
