When You're Old And Lonely Lyrics - The Magnetic Fields

When you're old and lonely 

You will wish you'd married me 

I could build a fire for you 

And bring you cakes and tea 

When you're cold and hungry 

I'll be waiting by the phone 

You can call me up and 

Tell me how you're all alone, all alone 

When you're old and lonely 

And the rush of life is past 

Days go by too slowly and 

The years go by too fast 

When your golden loneliness 

Is heavier than stone 

You can call me up and say 

"My God, I'm all alone, all alone"
