Seventy Lyrics

Take me where the green grass grows

And my heart still knows

Somehow it'll love again

Tell me what you already know

Sometimes I feel helpless

And I'm worse when I'm restless, oh

Pour the sugar in droves

Cut it all from a mold

Before you get too old, oh

Maybe that's the way it goes

But can we ever really know

All there is to know, oh

Scorch marks from

Old hearts left you bitter

Abandoned or alone

But broken hearts still

Have all the parts and they can

Un-fall apart in the end

Well 70 years, or more wouldn't be

Enough on a rocket with you

70 seas over-steeping the tea

And our books overdue on the couch

Oh I want 70 years, or more of those mornings

To find all of the things I would say

And 70 trees in a forest, green for

They shared all they got of the rain

Tell me what you think you know

I could wait for a lifetime

And never find the right time, to say

Everything you already know

I just wanted you to hear it

In the way that I mean it, oh

Nothing's better you know

Than living on this time

And giving you my time

So tell me again you know

I'll be by your side

I'll be on your side, oh

Spare parts for

Horse drawn carts and

A box of old photos in your hands

Kind hearts and

False starts

And a designer dress made from plans

Well 70 years, or more wouldn't be

Enough out in space with you

70 reasons for all of the seasons

Open books on the couch

Oh I want 70 years, or more of your mornings

To find all of the things I would say

And 70 trees in a forest, green for

They shared all they got of the rain
