We are young
We have years ahead maybe
We might fall in love
Fall apart
Fall apart
Before it ends
Well we should try to start
So I'll go but I'm telling you I don't wanna go
Could be stuck here and happy
So there's a puzzle I work on endlessly
And I've got the sides and all the corners
But there's a space
Yeah there's a space
Lost some pieces I can't replace
So I'll be but I'm telling you I don't wanna be
Just a wasted puzzle piece
We are old
And our son took the dog away
And fair enough, guess we're tired all the time
All the time
And you know dogs they need ample time outside
So I'll stay but I'm telling you I don't, I don't wanna stay
So I'll brace myself against the wall and hope to God that I don't fall
My bones are worn, my hip won't hold
I used to be so young, how did I get so old?
Won't you take my cane and hold my hand
You're holding onto all I have
Just a basket full of memories
And I am losing more each day it seems
But if I can make it to the street
I'll steal a car or a bike whatever there is to steal
And it might get cold I just don't care
I'm going 'til I'm getting there
I'll ride my steed all through this town
'Til I have looked and I have found
Your peaceful memory
Won't you return to me?
Won't you return to me?

I love the song and the entire album. Dan Mangan has an incredible voice and he's such a generous artist. Can't wait to see his show again. I'd like to hear his songs more on Radio Paradise though...
Finishes strong
What a tedious soporific
Godawful, like most of what he does.

As Dan started recording about 4 years before Mumford and Sons was even a band and released this album a few months before MoS's first album you could say that a Mumford and Sons song kinda sounds like a Dan Mangan song.
Interesting. Sounds kinda like a Mumford and Sons song.

Blech!
Dreadful, sorry.
