McMurtry
So get that hurt look off your face
No need to be alarmed
I was only trying not to lose my place
I didn't mean no harm.
This place we've come to it's a brand-new world
With a whole new set of rules
And I'm not complaining and I ain't enraged
Just a bit confused.
Would you be my friend through the ages?
Watch the decades drifting by?
And read to me from dusty pages
All the echoes of our lives?
You'd fold the napkins, sitting on the stairs
Through the afternoon
I'd sit there watching till you'd stack the chairs
From across the room.
I kept your letters in my fire
Kept them safe and sound
And I read back through them once in a while
When there's no one else around.
Would you be my friend through the ages?
Watch the decades drifting by?
And read to me from dusty pages
All the echoes of our lives?
Would you be my friend through the ages?
Watch the decades drifting by?
And read to me from dusty pages
All the echoes of our lives?
