Before Growing Old

Before Growing Old

(Album: Fragments - 2021)

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, your 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

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
