Could Be Forever

Hold the elevator for the older
I live three floors up, he's one over
First order of business
How's the knees, sir, how the missus
Hard on the bends, my lad, but they still go the distance
Nobody tells you true love comes with a cost
My darling has the wanderlust
Itchy feet but her head's gone soft
Goes for a little wander gets lost
Phone on standby
But will she remember to call
She saw our eldest daughter
Her face she couldn't recall
The leaves fell harder that autumn
But Every so often, she returns
Her face alight with a smile
She takes my hand, says I might be gone for a while
When will you go, I ask her, when will you come back
Any moment now
She takes my hands she holds them warm
Maybe Tomorrow
She pulls me in and holds me close
Could be forever, yeah
How long we stay like that, who knows
Could be forever, yeah
How long we stay like that, who knows
Always show love to the elders
Whether they're your Parents, aunts or toilet attendants
Last one in particular
We met some-time one cold december
At hootenanny's corner where he laid out his wares
Colognes, chopachups and trojans if you dare
He's from in my hometown, Benin City
And over there, my man's a dentist
Here in london
Got no papers to make real paper
And ends need meeting
Every hour I give some cheer
All I get cold pity, sneers and jeers
But that's ok, cuz in my mind, sky's all clear
I'm holding hands with all my daughters
New school uniform looking gorgeous
Some drunken random asks when are you going back
My eldest asks when I'm coming home?
Any moment now
Maybe Tomorrow
Could be forever, yeah
Could be forever, yeah
