With Age

[Verse 1]

Careful when you crank that last one down

The yellow chips with ease, with age

They're kind of old but they're the best ones

They're not gonna tip when they slip through the waves

Hey, hey, I almost forgot to say

Guess who I ran into yesterday?

It's been two years since I have

Seen her down this way

[Verse 2]

We talked till the sun came

Then we walked, just ignored the rain

Hanging out was almost the same

Only without all the doubt, without all the pain

Made me think when you think things are done, now

I know you can really love only one, but you

Can't give up on the first ones

Because the honesty comes with age

[Guitar solo]

[Verse 3]

I knew that would be the last song

Coming out of that machine

The bar back had somewhere else to be

If you know what I, if you know what I mean

But hey, hey, I wanted to stay

So I put another dollar in and pressed play

Just one of those rare nights

When you don't want to see the bare light of the next day

[Verse 4]

That won't be the last nod

That came last night from her face

They tried to cut us off, they even turned out the lights

But they couldn't turn off the grace

With which she listened to every word

Clear among the din of glass and laughter, unheard

With an attention and respect That I could hardly return in

Such a crowded place

[Guitar solo]
