Stan Rogers - 45 Years Lyrics
Where the earth shows its bones of wind-broken stoneAnd the sea and the sky are oneI'm caught out of time, my blood sings with wineAnd I'm running ***** in the sunThere's God in the trees, I'm weak in the kneesAnd the sky is a painful blueI'd like to look around, but Honey, all I see is you.The summer city lights will soften the nightTil you'd think that the air is clearAnd I'm sitting with friends, where forty-five centsWill buy another glass of beerHe's got something to say, but I'm so far awayThat I don't know who I'm talking toCause you just walked in the door, and Honey, all I see is youAnd I just want to hold you closer than I've ever held anyone beforeYou say you've been twice a wife and you're through with lifeAh, but Honey, what the hell's it for?After twenty-three years you'd think I could findA way to let you know somehowThat I want to see your smiling face forty-five years from now.So alone in the lights on stage every nightI've been reaching out to find a friendWho knows all the words, sings so she's heardAnd knows how all the stories endMaybe after the show she'll ask me to goHome with her for a drink or twoNow her smile lights her eyes, but Honey, all I see is youAnd I just want to hold you closer than I've ever held anyone beforeYou say you've been twice a wife and you're through with lifeAh, but Honey, what the hell's it for?After twenty-three years you'd think I could findA way to let you know somehowThat I want to see your smiling face forty-five years from now.And I just want to hold you closer than I've ever held anyone beforeYou say you've been twice a wife and you're through with lifeAh, but Honey, what the hell's it for?After twenty-three years you'd think I could findA way to let you know somehowThat I want to see your smiling face forty-five years from now.
