Old Rock(Album Version)

歌詞

There's a grey transparence in this city When it's slightly misty And no one can run 'Cause they spent all of their money On alcohol'n junk Like you did, little man sat in the corner Waiting for an epiphany of some sort As you spit and babble it all away to Jesus Or some other spirit floating in your smoke You know you're gonna die pretty soon now But you keep on smiling at your thoughts And your leftover loose pennies That you can just about clutch in those Dirty, curled up claws still carefully counted They only amount to three more sips of ale Before i saw water well up in your eyes You told the same story to me And I think you may be the reason For me to recreate my soul Say goodbye each time you leave Old Rock, they call me crazy too But you've got fifty years on me But I don't know what it is to become More than to be sitting right there by That empty glass you have left me It was all so much better back in your day It was all so romantic back where you lived In the bedsit you grew marijuana And took pride in your record player I sit dreaming of you as a young man Before the smoke and liquor turned you grey Before you all looked exactly the same to me I see myself looking through a dusty mirror at me After my babies, after my husbands After I lose my loved ones When I grow into a different person Yes I'm gonna write every single one of your words I'll write every single one of your words I'll write every single one of your words I'll write. I'll write... Oh that I, I think there be a reason For me to recreate my soul Say goodbye each time you leave Old Rock, they call me crazy too But you've got fifty years on me But I don't know what it is to become More than to be sitting right there by That empty glass you have left me
