As Old As I

Higher yet my love, the water is rising
Up on the counter my love, grab a hold tightly
Don't you let go my dear, I can't let you die
'Til you're as old as I, as old as I, as old as I

Look both ways my dear, don't trip on your laces
But here you lie shot in your sleep by a bullet gone stray
You gave me your blessing to keep you alive
'Til you're as old as I, as old as I, as old as I
As old as I, as old as I, as old as I, as old as I

I'll take all your baggage, I'll take all your baggage
And I'll give you mine for the passage of the time, for the distance
As old as I, as old as I, as old as I
As old as I, as old as I, as old as I, as old as I

As old as I, as old as I, as old as I
As old as I, as old as I, as old as I

For the distance
As old as I, as old as I, as old as I
As old as I, as old as I, as old as I, as old as I
