14 Today — текст песни (Dan Hill)

14 today and you went dancing

Music mixed with laughter

And boys can be so insecure

They made you drink a bit too much

Everythings a blur of feel and touch

Did he really like you

How can you be sure enough





23 today and all your friends are getting married

You say theyre so scared of being alone

So self righteously you march though teachers college

Still so much in life you gotta get to know

Seems like everybodys so content to move so slow



And when you think youve got your life so well controlled

It slips away

And the years like raindrops falling from your life are

Washed away

Youre so brilliant, youre so gifted, so sensitive, so strong

As you hide behind your barricade of words

But no one got close enough to you to have ever heard



I met you at a party you were drunk and full of world advice

And I was getting nervous

You said you had a child who was a genius and you smiled

As the living room transformed into your circus

Someone whispered you were 39 today a face so you

Eyes so old

You collapsed into the corner

Like somebody of raw nerves you near seduced me

With your verbs

As I reached out for you

You said over and over



Children come home from school

Shout and laugh with all their life

Shit em out fast before you think of the past

Turn out all your lights

Go to bed got to sleep dont think dont feel

As the night time moans a prayer

That maybe somewhere deep inside

Theres some meaning aching to be shared
