Getting Older

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I'm getting older

I need your shoulder

I need your love

And I need your blood

I want your honey

I'll take your money

I'll pay you back

I'll get the cash

With you my life has begun

I was on the run

We've got the time it takes to burn out the Sun

And the heart's desperately undone

I've been so afraid

My body's burnt and laid

Out on a table at my wake

And the radio's on

It's playing my song

It's the one that will take us to the end

If we defend our love and our souls we mend

Can you hear my words?

Can you feel my worth?

Can you read my mind and share the rest of time?

I was making my own bed

I was picturing my death

I was lost in a fire

And you saved me with your desire

Can you hear me now?

It's time to take a bow

Out of this last life, born of sacrifice
