lyrics

So much of getting old is getting old with you

You’d pout catching a wrinkle and I’d just show you two

Knees creak from out our seats, but we’d still dance like lovers do

So much of getting old’s now getting over you

So much of getting old is getting old with you

We watch our youth degrade while our children grew

Pass on some infinite wisdom and what little that we knew

I’ll keep an eye on us while we’re getting over you

So much of getting old is getting over you

So much of seeming strong is just seeing this day through

So much of what you gave will just fade if I fade too

So much can seem so much longer while getting over you

I’m gonna see it through darling through darling

I’m gonna see it through darling through darling

I’m gonna see it through darling through darling

I’m gonna see it through darling through darling

If not for me then for you

If not for me then for you

If not for me then for you

If not for me then for you

Baby Farm is out now, the crops are ready for harvest and the livestock are screaming. ... more

I can't think of a band that sounds like this and does it all themselves. Support talent. Support friends. J Smith
