I'll Sleep When I'm Older

The taste of a cigarette in Paris in spring

Conversation with elders and the wisdom they bring

Sunrise in Georgia as holy choirs sing

The view from an aeroplane at twelve thousand feet

Meet God on a mountaintop along with the stars

Find love somewhere, anywhere, fall deep from the start

Misplace my mind and follow my heart

See the cosmos unfolding and know I'm a part

I'll sleep when I'm older

When the world's got me weathered

I'll finally find my way home

I'll sleep when I'm older

Sleep when I'm older

I'll be a firework, not a flickering flame

Treat life all around me like a one-player game

I'll go to the party and forget all the names

Should it come back to haunt me, it ends all the same

I'll sleep when I'm older

When the world's got me weathered

I'll finally find my way home

I'll sleep when I'm older

(Older)

I'll sleep when I'm older

I'll sleep when I'm older

I'll sleep when I'm older

Sleep when I'm older
