lyrics

Hey baby when you coming home?
Been thinking lot about you
I want to spend some time alone
But not alone without you

I want to sit together
Talk about the day
Nothing too exciting anyway
But a hand to hold
Talk about getting old

A homebody needs to be at home
And no one need remind us
Don’t need a lot of space to roam
Those days are all behind us

We’ll make love in the morning
It’s getting too late
It’s harder to get started after eight
Truth be told
Talk about getting old

Gravity’s relentless
It’s taking quite a toll
Our bodies are always younger than our souls
Like tarnished gold
Everything’s getting old

Hey baby look how much we’ve grown
In the art of conversation
We’ve got language of our own
Considerate and patient

Everything’s forgiven
We’ve figured it out
Can’t remember what we fought about
A lighter load
Talk about getting old

Growing into comfort
Softened by the hurt
Skin is fitting looser but like a worn-in shirt
I suppose
Guess we’re just getting old

Someday we’ll sit on our front porch
Watch the grandkids playing
And see how far we’ve passed the torch
In the daylight fading

We won’t be caught flatfooted
It won’t come as a shock
When bodies can’t do more than talk
And repose
We’ll talk about getting old
