| It’s six o' clock, the heat is on
|
| The birds, they’re singing evening songs
|
| I put my coat across your shoulders
|
| You would make your mother cry
|
| If she saw the look that’s in your eye
|
| She might tell you that she told you not
|
| Don’t hang around with older souls
|
| Who drink, and smoke, and rock and roll, and
|
| You might die a little older'
|
| For everything is a perfect time
|
| But if you never live then still you die
|
| But you won’t die a little older
|
| You have to run to win the race
|
| But if you play your only ace
|
| Don’t come crying on my shoulder
|
| You’ll never change your brother’s mind
|
| Because the more you have, the more you are
|
| But you won’t die a little older
|
| But we can talk about the good old days
|
| Of penny sweets and lemonade
|
| With a touch of something stronger
|
| Then we’ll stumble through the streets, then home
|
| Through your tired eyes you’ll smile and
|
| Put your head upon my shoulder |
