The Wrong Year Lyrics
Grey Jane was a river child
Born down by the river wild
Said, "Hey, what I want to be?"
Nobody's gonna intervene
And she wants you
But you won't do
And it won't leave you alone
And the rain falls
On the wrong year
And it won't leave you alone
It won't leave you alone
Could be that he's into you
Could be that the obverse is true
Struck down as a summer child
Ten steps just to run a mile
And he wants you
But you won't do
And it won't leave you alone
And the rain falls
On the wrong year
And it won't leave you alone
Won't leave you alone
It won't leave you alone
Spirit's willing
Flesh is getting bored
Speakers blaring out some long-forgotten chord
Some misbegotten, long-forgotten chord
Sing me something eidolon
And I'll sleep all the winter long
Until then I can only be
Nobody's gonna intervene
And she wants you
But you won't do
And it won't leave you alone
And the rain falls
On the wrong year
And it won't leave you alone
It won't leave you alone
It won't leave you alone
It won't leave you alone
Born down by the river wild
Nobody's gonna intervene
But you won't do
And it won't leave you alone
On the wrong year
And it won't leave you alone
It won't leave you alone
Could be that the obverse is true
Ten steps just to run a mile
But you won't do
And it won't leave you alone
On the wrong year
And it won't leave you alone
Won't leave you alone
It won't leave you alone
Flesh is getting bored
Speakers blaring out some long-forgotten chord
Some misbegotten, long-forgotten chord
And I'll sleep all the winter long
Nobody's gonna intervene
But you won't do
And it won't leave you alone
On the wrong year
And it won't leave you alone
It won't leave you alone
It won't leave you alone
It won't leave you alone

Time always goes on. You sometimes would like to stay a child forever, but you can't. And you have to resign to it.
