Love Grows Old

 

Listen up so I can tell you a story

From lovers growing old

Some wait for fate and glory.

Some would aspire to be bold

 

The lover walks among the flowers

Wallowing in the sun

Wondering why she left him alone

And out there having fun

 

The music fades but the song remains.                   

Love has left us with a lingering pain

Souls are forgotten as results are driven

Reminding us we should all be forgiven

 

Can you remember the ace I played 

Stranded in the middle of a debt repaid          

Hoping for a long time

That you would be incline

 

We learn too late as the night falls

How close we came to distant shores

Snatching at the sky, desperate to see

A sliver of hope of a world that could be

 

Don’t give in if the pace is slow

Success achieved with another blow

Fresh eyes stare at the skies

Contemplate where this all lies

 

Can you remember the ace I played

Stranded in the middle of a debt unpaid

Hoping for a long time

That you would be mine

 

Level the playing field with another blow

Don’t give in if the pace is slow

What the hell is it we all gain

Yearning for a change a different domain

 

Come with me now, it’s time to go

Floating on a promise of a different show

Forever loved you soon will be

Sailing on a wave of love’s glee

 

Listen and I'll tell a story

About lovers growing old

Some would wait for fate and glory

Fortune favours the bold

 

The lovers walk among the flowers

Wallowing in the sun

She no longer cares why she left him alone

Now she is out there having fun
