Getting Nothing But Old

You spend all your evenings alone now

Mostly looking at her photograph

You sing all your love songs from memory

For memories are all that you have

And there's nothing so wrong as the nighttime

With no one beside you to hold

And nothing so long as a lifetime

When you're Getting Nothing But Old

You never payed too much attention

It all seemed ok in your mind

She even tried telling you straight out

But you brushed her off every time

Now there's nothing so wrong as the nighttime

With no one beside you to hold

And nothing so long as a lifetime

When you're Getting Nothing But Old

Love starts out all magic and flowers

Like nothing could ever go wrong

But love needs its care and its feeding

Now all you have left is this song

Oh, there's nothing so wrong as the nighttime

With no one beside you to hold

And nothing so long as a lifetime

When you're Getting Nothing But Old

You know now the ways that you hurt her

The times you were stubborn and wrong

If you could you'd turn back the hours

And sing a much happier song

But there's nothing so wrong as the nighttime

With no one beside you to hold

And nothing so long as a lifetime

When you're Getting Nothing But Old

Oh, there's nothing so wrong as the nighttime

With no one beside you to hold

And nothing so long as a lifetime

When you're Getting Nothing But Old
