Letra
I was walking in the mountains just enjoying some peace of mind
A toothless smile came up to me she must have been 8 or 9
I was 40 years back then and she asked me why my skin has lines
I walked and talked beside her as my knees struggled harder to climb
I said I know I ain't like I used to be
The machine's clogged up with history
Well I lived till I lost, I gave till I achedA
My hands are labour hard, and my back just can't take anymore
If I don't look like I've lived then what am I living for
If I don't sing till I'm raw then what am I singing for
If I don't play till I'm spent then what am I playing for
If I don't look like I've lived then what am I living for
Well I watched her run around and a smile washed over my face
I paced her for a while before my football knees gave up the chase
She wasn't mean she wasn't angry she just hadn't learnt the liars grace
And she also hadn't learnt that life's a journey it's not a race
I said I know I ain't like I used to be
The machine's clogged up with history
Well I lived till I lost, I gave till I ached
My hands are labour hard, and my back just can't take anymore
But if I don't look like I've lived then what am I living for
If I don't sing till I'm raw then what am I singing for
If I don't play till I'm spent then what am I playing for
If I don't look like I've lived then what am I living for
20 years on and I recognized that girl today
I saw her toothless face in the little ones beside her at play.
Her face was looking older but her smile told me all that it should
The journey makes you tired but the living is what makes you feel good
She said I know I ain't like I used to be
My machine's clogged up with history
Well I lived till I lost, I gave till I ached
My hands are labour hard, and my back just can't take anymore
But if I don't look like I've lived then what am I living for
If I don't sing till I'm raw then what am I singing for
If I don't play till I'm spent then what am I playing for
If I don't look like I've lived then what am I living for
