Miss Alva Maria Lyrics - Nine Days

I know I'm young, but its the oldest I've ever been 

I'm 23 now, halfway to 24 

I'll never see these years again 

so don't make me ask again, and hold out this old tin cup 

just reach out for my reaching hands 

and pull me up... 

got no trouble staying thin 

and might think that I've been blessed 

lord you know that I'd say yes 

god smiles upon the hungry, while you laugh...

in this second story novel, that I call home 

up the stairs and down the hall 

its just like turning the page 

got no rugs upon my floors, but it'll have to do for now 

but I'm only getting older... 

and I worry about MISS ALVA MARIA 

though she'll never even know that I exist 

well we lost her 15 years ago, but I've been finding her all my life 

there's something about the way she looks that moves me 

there's something about the way she loves that moves me... 

this stale cigarette smoke, still clings 

to my shirt, my hair and my hands 

well you know I ain't making jack, but you know that I'll be back 

I've got nothing else to offer 

I've got nothing else to offer 

this is all I've got to offer...

and I worry about MISS ALVA MARIA 

though she'll never even know that I exist 

well we lost her 15 years ago but I've been finding her all my life 

there's something about the way she looks that moves me 

there's something about the way she loves that moves me 

there's something about how she loses it all that moves me 

wont you tell me what its like to be remembered? 

I know I'm young, but this is the oldest I've ever been 

I'm 23 now, halfway to 24 

I'll never see these years again...
