My Old Old Lady Songtext
von The Jones Sisters

I wish someone from the future
Would come to you when you′re younger
And tell you how few people would ever really love you

The times when I was kinder
Would be greater in degree and number
There'd be fewer when I long for your patience and your laughter

And the only tattoo that I would have
Goddamn gotten is the one that says
The only one that just says, only says Josie

So here′s a song for my old old lady
Can I sing for you one more time
If I'm worth the warmth of mercy
And your old man don't mind

So much I′ve left untended
And so often I am haunted
By the sum of all the days I wasted
Wandering from your keeping


Even though I failed you endlessly
The worst you ever did to me
Was just that you just couldn′t be
More than a good woman

And now that we are older
And undress in the darkest corners
Of rooms that have gone quieter than when we lay together

I can see your shape more clearly
Than when you lay beside me
And I am always reaching for the ghost of your soft bearing

So here's a song for my old old lady
Can I sing for you one more time
If I′m worth the warmth of mercy
And your old man don't mind

Once I could have climbed the sky
And lived above the world
Jam on

And now that we are older
And undress in the darkest corners
Of rooms that have all gone quieter than when we lay together

I can see your shape more clearly
Than when you lay beside me
And I am always reaching for the pretty ghost of your soft bearing
