Older Chests - Damien Rice
 
[Verse 1]
 
Older chests reveal themselves
Like a crack in the wall
Starting small
An grow in time
 
We all seem to need the help
Of someone else
To mend that shelf
of too many books
 
Read me your favourite line
 
Papa went to other lands
And he found someone  who understands
The ticking an' the western man's
Need to cry
 
He came back the other day
 
[Chorus]
 
Yer you know
Some things in life may change
And some things stay the same ...
Like time
There's always time
On my mind
So pass me by
I'll be fine
Just give me time
 
[Verse 2]
 
Older gents sit on the fence
With a cap in hand
Looking grand
They watch their city change
 
And children scream or so it seems
Louder than before
Outta' doors 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
 
[Chorus]
 
Yer you know
Some things in life may change
And some things stay the same ...
Like time
There's always time
On my mind
So pass me by
I'll be fine
Just give me time
