Keaton Henson - Before Growing Old lyrics

Artist: Keaton Henson

album: Fragments EP


When you are old and gone away
Will you remember me today?
With youth still in my eyes
And wild hair across my face
When you are old and gone from me
Will you remember how I speak?
With that confidence of children
And that noble lack of sleep
When you're old and someone new
Will you think of how my shoes
All tattered, drag themselves beside you
As we're walking home from school?
Been making myself
So sick with the truth
But I realize now
Our love is made of youth
When we grow up
I will break my promises
And you'll fall out of love
We will not grow old together
When you're aged and awake
Will you think of me the day
That we skipped a day of classes
To act like lovers in the rain?
And when you're taken by the years
Will you recall me thus, my dear?
A skinny figure at your doorway
Legs like spindles, stiff with fear
And when we've up and grown apart
Will you remember how the art
Used to fall out of my fingers
Into sketchbooks in the park?
And I'm aging my soul
I'm so high-strung
'Cause I realize now
This kind of love is for the young
And when we grow up
I will break my promises
And you'll fall out of love
We will not grow old together
And now I'm old and gone away
I still remember how your face
Shone with youth and love and confidence
That you would always stay
