Weathered

Garratt Jack

When I grow old, I'll drink and smoke
Like I did when youth stayed, youth stayed
'Til the second round
When I grow old, the sun will cope
Shining on every youth stain, youth stain
Never settling down

And no wonder I keep you close
You're the water to quench my throat
And if I never let you go
Will you keep me young, keep me young

When I grow old, my weathered soul
And memories recluse, elusive
Help me take them out
So keep me young and call my bluffs
And help me out when you say, you say
There's no room for doubt

Say I'm stronger, and keep me close
And be the water and test my cold
And if never let you go
Will you keep me young, keep me young

(2x):
Oh, when my heart stops beating
And my blood turns cold
And oh, when my heart stops beating
And my breath won't flow
And oh, when my heart stops beating
When you go, oh no, I know

When I grow old, I'll drink and smoke
But just as long as you stay, you stay
I found a way out
