I'll Sleep When I'm Older

(альбом: To Let A Good Thing Die - 2020)

The taste of a cigarette in Paris in Spring
Conversation with elders and the wisdom they bring
Sunrise in Georgia as holy choirs sing
The view from an aeroplane at twelve thousand feet

Meet God on a mountain top alone with the stars
Find love somewhere, anywhere, fall deep from the start
Misplace my mind and follow my heart
See the cosmos unfolding and know I'm a part

I'll sleep when I'm older
When the world's got me weathered I'll finally find my way home
I'll sleep when I'm older
Sleep when I'm older

I'll be a firework, not a flickering flame
Treat life all around me like a one player game
I'll go to the party and forget all their names
Should it come back to haunt me, it ends all the same

I'll sleep when I'm older
When the world's got me weathered I'll finally find my way home
I'll sleep when I'm older

Sleep when I'm older
