Jeff Black - Nineteen lyrics

rate me

Nineteen

the sky might be gray today

but that won’t last for long

I want to tear down this shrine

to everything that i’ve done wrong

blackberry winter

oh I wish you could have seen

my father’s gold tooth shining

you would be nineteen

I worry about what I look like

and what I sound like when I talk

I cast a crooked shadow

down this winding road I walk

a blanket of stars fell out

oh I wish you could have seen

the world is turning over

you would be nineteen

I dream about the woman

and her wild raven mane

the little lights of autumn

what it’s come to

and how I’ve changed

everything we could have been

and everything I’ll be

the world is turning over

you would be nineteen

they say if one remembers

well that’s all I have to give

thirty five decembers and

I’ve but half my life to live

a blanket of stars fell out

oh I wish you could have seen

the world is turning over

you would be nineteen
