lyrics

NOT TOO OLD
H.Wilson

feeling like an old guitar left on the shelf
feeling like an angel in it's afternoon
watching as the years slip by with an increasing impotence
wondering if all you do's irrelevant

but you're not too old
but you're not too old and grey for me

feeling like the use-by date has come and gone
feeling like your deepest values are a fading fad
watching as the pieces move from squares behind to squares ahead feeling like a pawn that's being slowly discarded

but you're not too old
but you're not too old and grey for me

and you might believe that
what you are feeling is the sum of reality
but I don't believe that 22 years is the apex of existence
so I will hold on to my subjective values
that what we do isn't who we are
and I will hold on to this feeling of love

as we drift into eternity

feeling like a week old sandwich ready to be chucked away
feeling like your promises never realised
watching as your water spirals down the drain-hole
wondering how to spend the rest of your time alive

but you're not too old
but you're not too old and grey for me
