Subject: Lyr Add: NAOMI (Ralph McTell) From: Juan P-B Date: 20 Nov 04 - 09:03 PM The Present Mrs P-B's fave song! Naomi Age has made her frail. I'm scared to take her in my arms. There's an understanding now – A peace behind the eyes. Age is for complaining, but you won't hear much from me Growing old with Naomi Now I recall the first time I held her in my arms And times I was unfaithful…..she said "There's no future in the past" So we don't talk about it – She keeps a gentle edge on me And I don't mind. Growing old with Naomi She wasn't all I wanted but she's all I'll ever need A rich man always wants more – and I was rich indeed! A rich man and a poor fool – yet it turned out right for me How lucky can you get! Growing old with Naomi The kids today! They think that they discovered everything Well, me & her, we've done it all without a wedding ring And sometimes things remind us and she's smiling back at me It ain't hard, growing old with Naomi She wasn't all I wanted but she's all I'll ever need A rich man and a poor fool – and I was rich indeed! I never thought her beautiful…..but I do now! 'cause I see I'm getting wiser! Growing old with Naomi Well the place is kind of quiet now the kids have all left home We'd like to see more of them, when they're gone And in the quietness afterwards, she comes and sits by me And makes me feel like a man – Growing old with Naomi And makes me feel like a man – Growing old with Naomi |
Subject: Lyr Add: NAOMI (Ralph McTell) From: songs2play Date: 29 Nov 04 - 03:56 AM I think there is something "missing" in the last verse ? NAOMI By Ralph McTell Age has made her frail I'm scared to take her in my arms But there's an understanding now And a peace behind the eyes And age is for complaining But you won't here much from me Growing old with Naomi Now I recall the first time I took her in my arms And times I was unfaithful She said, "no future in the past", So we don't talk about it She keeps a gentle edge on me And I don't mind growing old with Naomi. She wasn't all I wanted But she's all I'll ever need Oh, a rich man always wants for more And I was rich indeed A rich man and a poor fool Yet it turned out right for me How lucky can you get? Growing old with Naomi. The kids today, they think that they've Discovered everything But me and her, well we done it all Without a wedding ring Sometimes things remind us And she's smiling back at me It ain't hard growing old with Naomi. She wasn't all I wanted But she's all I'll ever need Oh, a rich man and a poor fool And I was rich indeed I never thought her beautiful But I do now, cos I see I'm getting wiser Growing old with Naomi. Oh, the place is kind of quiet now The kids have all left home We'd like to see more of them But we're grateful when they come And in the quietness afterwards She comes and sits by me Make me feel like a man Growing old with Naomi |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Naomi (Ralph McTell) From: Noreen Date: 29 Nov 04 - 04:53 PM As you'll see from the links at the top of this thread, the lyrics are already in the Digitrad: Naomi (click here) Always worth searching first! |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Naomi (Ralph McTell) From: Ed. Date: 29 Nov 04 - 05:15 PM Indeed they are, Noreen. Even a simple filter search would find the original thread. I don't know if you're still persuing librarianship Noreen, but if you are you'll have noticed that most people simply don't think like that... |
