Forgot To Grow Old

Sun rattles on the edge of the shore
It’s just not the same here any more
On the edge of the lake I pick up a stick
I push it in the sand and I give it a flick
I've plenty of time and there’s plenty on my mind
I think I forgot to grow old

She said come round 11.00 I’m just out of bed
I need to push the brush across my head
She told me about a dream she had last night
paid a million dollars for a ride into space
Not bad for ninety
I think she forgot to grow old

We drove on down to the next country town
Road as familiar as the back of my hand
If Only I could recognize it holding the wheel
Silver hair and softening skin
I don’t know what I was thinking then
I think I forgot to grow old

We know where this is going but we bury our heads in the sand
I know where this is headin’ when I look down upon these hands
Not really knowing not always growing
I think I forgot to grow old

I met an old friend the other day
Watch you doing we don’t have much to say
Well I don’t really know we just turned and walked away
Who knows how long we’ve got to stay
When we looked down upon Glendue Bay
I think we forgot to grow old

I know I forgot to grow old
But I didn’t always do what I was told
