lyrics

You told me once that things would change as we both grow
But will you still love me when my lines begin to show
there are so many things that I have never been aware of
and there are no many things that i'm a little scared of.

Like will our hands go wrinkly in the bath when we get old?
And will we still swim in the sea in winter when it's cold?
I hope we never start to ever do as we are told,
when we get old
when we get old.

If we run backwards can we slow this process down?
Don't want to stray don't want to change anything about right now
and I know I should be grateful 'cos time gave us our past
but I just hope it doesn't creep on me too fast.

But will our hands go wrinkly in the bath when we get old?
And will we still swim in the sea in winter when it's cold?
I hope we never start to ever do as we are told,
when we get old
when we get old.

Will you, will you still love me,
when we, when we get older?
Will you, will you still love me,
when we, when we get older?
Will you, will you still love me,
when we, when we get older?
Will you, will you still love me?

You told me once that thing would change as we both grow,
but I never noticed any signs of change begin to show.

And our hands still go wrinkly in the bath now that we're old
and we're still swimming in the sea in winter when it's cold
I'm glad we never started to do things as we were told
Now that we're old,
now that we're old
now that we're old
I'm glad we're old.

Child

If not my money problem I would have bought the CD version. The moment i heared "Child" it was clear to me, that I need more. My fav is "Not enough", because it takes a different approach on beeing alone. pikolowet

Over & Out - EP
by Natalie Holmes

supported by 7 fans who also own “When We Get Old”

I'm always open-minded - and open-eared - for a good singer-songwriter album, especially if well-versed songwriting is paired with a strong and pleasant voice. Natalie Holmes matches this pattern just perfectly, and there's a lot more exquisite music to be discovered here, on her Bandcamp site. Sven B. Schreiber (sbs)
