40 Years |
Forty years ago |
I didn’t have tuppence for the phone |
I lived in one unheated room |
That I didn’t quite call home |
And I didn’t call home |
In about six months |
I said, «Hey, it’s me, your prodigal son |
I swear one day I’m gonna make you proud» |
I said I’d make you proud |
Just to hear it said out loud |
But I didn’t care |
Forty years ago |
I didn’t know anything much back then |
About the ways of this world |
The wickedness of men |
The wickedness of men, yes |
I was one of them |
The sadness the insanity |
The sickness and the sin |
I’d swear most days |
I’d never do that again |
I’d never do that again |
I’d never do that again |
I did it again |
And I can’t sleep at night sometimes |
For thinking about the times |
Useless times I’ve spent just wishing |
Wishing time away |
Wishing time away |
Life throws up the same old lessons |
Until you learn them |
And I’ve got so many lessons left to learn |
I wish that I could burn it all |
I’m coming unravelled here |
Once you catch a thread |
You can pull it all loose |
I’m beaten, I’m done |
I’ve run right out of juice |
