Lyrics Sixteen - Hugh Coltman

Sixteen

Get it well you can
It s time for this man to become sophisticated
Become all I hated
When I was sixteen years old
On the street tonight
Feel the colours shining bright and complicated
Everything I hated
When I was sixteen years old
Everyday
See my innocence
Just fading away
All the black and white
It turns into grey
Oh what more can I say?
Say just what you mean
Mean just what you say
For a day
It s not the same thing for
Hermit or king
Who’s no longer sixteen years old
Everyday
See my innocence
Just fading away
All the black and white
It turns into grey
Oh what more can I say?
She was an only child
I was a lonely child
My god strike me blind
Cut out my tongue
So i can t say what I’ve done
Just like Leonard used to say
«I ache in all the places
That i used to play in»
And my patience is thin
Now i m not sixteen years old
