| I’ve heard stories but this time I’m reading mine
|
| In a jukebox magazine
|
| I know I’ve read it once before but if the line fits
|
| Then they’ll use it once again
|
| But real life spreads in the children
|
| Over their heads in our knee deep
|
| With their open faces and microscope eyes
|
| Sponging your ideas
|
| They bake them up in future lies
|
| Leave the babe just seven days of being weaned
|
| Is the labor ever done?
|
| Parting slowly since the second they were dreamed of
|
| Bitter tears have been born
|
| Oh love, shine on the two of them
|
| As the show lights on me
|
| Fill the empty spaces with antique sing-a-longs
|
| New ones sometimes
|
| Sometimes just one more song
|
| I’ve heard stories but this time I’m reading mine
|
| In a jukebox magazine
|
| I know I’ve read it once before but if the line fits
|
| Then they’ll use it once again
|
| Oh love, shine on the children
|
| Over their heads in our knee deep
|
| Fill the empty spaces with antique sing-a-longs
|
| New ones sometimes
|
| Sometimes just one more song
|
| Just one more song before I’m home
|
| Just one more song before I’m done
|
| La la la la la la …
|
| I’ve heard stories but this time I’m reading mine
|
| In a jukebox magazine
|
| I never play it twice the same but if the line fits
|
| Then I’ll do it once again
|
| Oh love, shine on the children
|
| Over their heads in our knee deep
|
| Fill the empty spaces with antique sing-a-longs
|
| New ones sometimes
|
| Sometimes just one more song
|
| Just one more song
|
| Before I’m done |
