NAOMI (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 At 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 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 some 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'd 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, 'cause 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 call And in the quietness afterwards She comes and sits by me Make me feel like a man Growing old with Naomi @aging filename[ NAOMIOLD GW apr00 |
