Too Old To Be Told

from Nobody's EP by Sam Brawn

/

lyrics

I’m a few years older than
you thought I’d be by now
but you should have known
my hair would grow grey.

That doesn’t bother me,
you force yourself to say
though I can see through
nostalgia-glazed eyes.

And all you see in me
Is the man I used to be
Before the world
Leaned its heavy years
On my shoulder
And all you see in me
Is the tragedy
Of what it means
To grow older.

There’s a remembrance etched
into your retina
which tells the sad story of a man
with a melancholy gaze.

You’ve a dark spot baby
in the middle of each eye
which unravels all you say
about what you see.

[chorus]

One foot in front of the other
You're too old to be told

One foot in front of the other
You're too old to be told

Sam Brawn Hampshire, UK

My name is Sam Brawn. I am a musician of sorts. I try and make things sound different, but with over 7 billion people in the world (and let's say 800,000,045 of these are musicians) that is sometimes difficult.

Nevertheless, I spend every shower and bedtime thinking and writing and humming so that I might give you something new.

Thank you for listening. You are quite wonderful friends.
