Line one is the time |
|
That you, you first stayed over at mine |
|
And we drank our first bottle of wine |
|
And we cried |
|
Line two we're away |
|
And we both, we both, both had nowhere to stay |
|
Well now the bus-shelter's always okay |
|
When you're young |
|
Now you're older and I look at your face |
|
Every wrinkle is so easy to place |
|
And I only write them down just in case |
|
That you die |
|
Let's take a look at these crows feet, just look |
|
Sitting on the prettiest eyes |
|
Sixty twenty fifth of Decembers |
|
Fifty-nine fourth of Julys |
|
Not through the age or the failure, children |
|
Not through the hate or despise |
|
Take a good look at these crows feet |
|
Sitting on the prettiest eyes |
|
Line three I forget |
|
But I think, I think it was our first ever bet |
|
And the horse we backed was short of a leg |
|
Never mind |
|
Line four in a park |
|
And the things, the things that people do in the dark |
|
I could hear the faintest beat of your heart |
|
Then we did |
|
Now you're older and I look at your face |
|
Every wrinkle is so easy to place |
|
And I only write them down just in case |
|
You should die |
|
Let's take a look at these crows feet, just look |
|
Sitting on the prettiest eyes |
|
Sixty twenty fifth of Decembers |
|
Fifty-nine fourth of Julys |
|
You can't have too many good times, children |
|
You can't have too many lines |
|
Take a good look at these crows feet |
|
Sitting on the prettiest eyes |
|
Well my eyes look like a map of the town |
|
And my teeth are either yellow or they're brown |
|
But you'll never hear the crack |
|
Of a frown when you are here |
|
You'll never hear the crack of a frown |
|
Of a frown, of a frown, of a frown |
