Lyrics

Watching me

I took my time to meet success, snubbed her at all the parties we went,
I took my time to sympathize.
I waited past all your intents and all your rites of innocence,
I wrote your journal of my life.
So now are you watching me getting old, are you watching me getting cold
Are you watching me getting sold?

I took no notice of the ships that sailed without me in the haze,
Cos? your island was only a sun away,
I had you wait while the gods were asking me,
I was unconscious of your way.
So are you watching me getting old, are you watching me getting cold, are you watching me getting small, are you watching me getting torn?

I took my time to lift your veil to look on my model bride,
cos? I was weak, when you were wild, (and you?re running on and on)
I kept the same eyes on, I kept them open to my pride,
I didn?t know when they turned blind.
So now are you watching me getting old, getting cold, getting worn
Are you watching me getting, getting, getting on?.
