Old Ladies Lament Lyrics
You are young, you do not know
I wish you did not have to grow
Get so tall, and out of reach
Still I will keep the cradle
Oh so close and yet so far
It's always just beginning
Summer months golden days
I'll be stood at my window.
White noise and whitest snow
The bones that moan inside me
A song will find the radio
I dance when I am dreaming
Temper, temper wait for me
I'm no good with old patience
Let us pray that someone sweet
Will call with heavy conscience
How am I, I can't complain
I just don't like the neighbours
Look at you oh plump and blushing
Such a sweet tomato
I will do it all again
I'd have my heart be broken
Just to touch a loved one's skin
I hear the kettle whistling
I wish you did not have to grow
Get so tall, and out of reach
Still I will keep the cradle
It's always just beginning
Summer months golden days
I'll be stood at my window.
The bones that moan inside me
A song will find the radio
I dance when I am dreaming
I'm no good with old patience
Let us pray that someone sweet
Will call with heavy conscience
I just don't like the neighbours
Look at you oh plump and blushing
Such a sweet tomato
I'd have my heart be broken
Just to touch a loved one's skin
I hear the kettle whistling
