Old Rock (Album Version) - Natalie Duncan
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 m*******a
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
Old rock they call me crazy too
But you've got fifty years on me
I don't know what it is to
Become more than to be sitting
Right there by that empty glass
You have left me
