Growing Old

Growing loud, growing up

Growing love out of our ears

Telling truth, weaving lies

All the words I cannot hear

Through the silence, make no sound

Hide our love deep underground

Cancel plans, I search around

Love is lost, then love is found

Growing strong, growing soft

Growing daisies in our loft

Picking rooms, painting walls

And the blue tape you tear off

Making tea, making time

Making plans beneath the soil

Now the water's at a boil

Share the love before it spoils

Ooh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Ooh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Ooh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Growing tall, growing out

Growing infants like to shout

Paying bills, paying fines

This is not what life's about

Lacking sleep and caffeine

Found a penny with my luck

Now the coffee's warming up

Pour the love into my cup

Ooh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Ooh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Ooh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Ooh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Ooh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Ooh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Growing wise, growing old

Doing all the things we're told

Losing sound, losing sight

Reading all our books in bold

Longer skirts, ancient things

And the people we once knew

Come close now, our time is through

Come closer, let me love you

Ooh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Ooh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Ooh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Ooh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Ooh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Ooh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
