Verse 1:
36 years and my shoes are worn
just pacing this old house
Thinking about your skin
and the color of that blouse
36 years on my weary soul
haven’t even held you yet
I think I’m ready for some days
that I can’t forget
Chorus:
Don’t want to be late for life with you
So please come now
Come now
And if I wait too long to tell you
I won’t know how
won’t know how
Verse 2:
36 Years and my eyes have seen
the ruins down in Mexico
And when the sun shone through that rock
I knew I should let you know
36 years and these hands are tired
can’t hold this old guitar
But they can warm your body on a cool night
underneath this blanket of stars
Chorus:
Don’t want to be late for life with you
So please come now
Come now
And if I wait too long to tell you
I won’t know how
won’t know how
Bridge:
Time cuts through these talks of taking
A spine cuts through our bodies in the making
Chorus:
Don’t want to be late for life with you
So please come now
Come now
And if I wait too long to tell you
I won’t know how
won’t know how
