Beautiful Old (original) - Coal Parker

Although im grateful im currently quite young, i long for the day when i can be old so that i dont have that "what if?" question always roaming around my head. Make sense? Maybe not. Failing that Val challenged me to give a bad performance(thought id already had a few(not fishing for pick me ups)) so ive risen to the challenge.

LYRICS

I, I used to be bold
used to be bold but now im afraid of

Sun-shine, used to be comfort
used to be comfort, now its so blinding i cry

but i never say why, i just hold it all in, woo ooh

I, I used to be old
used to be old, blaming my sides oh

I, I never blamed fights
Never blamed fights for the chip on my shoulder

Cos we, oh we all get old, when you sell out your soul

You can fall from
You can fall from fear.

Cos its old old beautiful old
Beautiful old no brain to rely on

Unfold all of your memories
All of your lifes work, lay it all out on a stone

Then go find a new home
Find a new home.

Yeah, but it is also tiresome having those "What if"-thoughts when one is oyung...When you're old there's nothing you can do about what has been anyway..

When you're in the moment, it's kinda a pressure doing the right thing, making the right choice, etc. But that is life for you, I guess..;)

[kaliazzura]

I like the high bits... yooohooo!

I think we'll all have more "What if s" when we're older Coal. The more time life has to throw stuff at you, the more you'll wonder whether you've taken the right road. And I imagine being old is a time of contemplation - I hope I've learned to have peaceful thoughts by then... ha ha Until then, may we sing it all out ;)
