lyrics

Old Weather

We stopped by the side of the road
to watch the red pines fall—
and along the yellow line,
I found a gray haired doll.

Turn off the radio
or give away it all—
please decide to grow old.

The clouds wrinkle as the sun leaves
the chains on our tires
make the snow’s skin crease.

Even in the spring the leaves fall,
please decide to grow old.

Don’t say you have a map,
I’m not sure you’re coming at all—
on most roads we follow signs
but I’ll feel through with my hands
like a blind man through time.

The world seems to be growing old too—
the mud dries into old leather.
They say we grow old together
but maybe I’ll just grow old with the weather.

Turn off the windshield wipers
and make the call—
please decide to grow old—
please decide to grow old.
