Older Chests Lyrics - O - Damien Rice

Older chests reveal themselves 

Like a crack in a wall 

Starting small, and grow in time 

And we all seem to need the help 

Of someone else 

To mend that shelf 

Too many books 

Read me your favorite line 

Papa went to other lands 

And he found someone who understands 

The ticking, and the western man's need to cry 

He came back the other day 

You know, some things in life may change 

And some things they stay the same

20 Classic Christmas Lyrics to Celebrate The Holiday Season 

Like time, there's always time 

On my mind 

So pass me by, I'll be fine 

Just give me time 

Older gents sit on the fence 

With their cap in hand 

Looking grand 

They watch their city change 

Children scream, or so it seems 

Louder than before 

Out of doors, and into stores with bigger names 

Mama tried to wash their faces 

But these kids they lost their graces 

And daddy lost at the races too many times 

She broke down the other day 

You know, some things in life may change 

But some things they stay the same

Like time, there's always time 

On my mind 

So pass me by, I'll be fine 

Just give me time 

Time, there's always time 

On my mind 

Pass me by, I'll be fine 

Just give me time
