Damien Rice - Older Chests

Older chests reveal themselves
Like a crack in a wall
Starting small, and grow in time
And we always seem to need the help
Of someone else
To mend that shelf
Too many books
Read me your favourite line
Papa went to other lands
And he found someone who understands
The ticking, and the western
man's need to cry
He came back the other day, you know
Some things in life may change
And some things
They stay the same

Like time, there's always time
On my mind

So pass me by, I'll be fine
Just give me time

Older gents sit on the fence
With their cap in hand
Looking grand
They watch their city change
Children scream, or so it seems
Louder than before
Out of doors, and into stores
with bigger names
Mama tried to wash their faces
But these kids they
lost their graces
And daddy lost at the
races too many times
She broke down the other day
yeah you know
Some things in life may change
But some things they stay the same

Like time, there's always time
On my mind

So pass me by, I'll be fine
Just give me time

Time, there's always time
On my mind

Pass me by, I'll be fine
Just give me time

Damien Rice - Older Chests with lyrics

This isn't the studio version of the song- it's an acoustic version that Damien sang but it sounds similar to the studio version, because he's just that amazing.
