lyrics

Closed closed closed

The signs on the windows they go:
“we’re closed closed closed, and you young thing you better get home”

And I blush
“Young thing” these days, not so much

I feel old old old
I feel the years of the world in my bones
But I’m not fussed

I know what I am and am not
I know what I can and cannot
I know what I have and I want

I want to hold hold hold
and not have to let go
When death comes I want to say “No”

But don’t judge – I’ve been through a lot
I don’t say that to say that you’ve not
I think that we’ve both been cut up
we both have…

But guess what? I’m glad that we’re here in this dump
If together is all that we’ve got it’s enough for us not to give up
Don’t give up, don’t give up

And we’ll go go go
I see us where shadows grow
where je suis oiseaux.
