Lyrics:
And I've gone so far in my travels,
Growing silver in my sideburns
I've started to unravel
Heard my heartbeat on a downhill,
I counted 18 on my pulse
As Kilrenny clock struck three
For 3 o'clock what else?
What else?
And you said 12 years in retirement.
The hours go by like sips of water.
The record lies unbroken
And no doubt it's white flour in my diet
That's going to be the death of me
A sweet drum roll for those embittered big ideas.
It's such a waste of all that I had.
You mentioned bats in the attic
So now you're lifting off the tiles
To get around those conservation rules
I'm locked down in the basement
I'm hanging upside down
I gag across my mealy mouth.
And how I'll laugh out loud about that.
When I read your simple novel
That uses all our real names
And go make yourself a fortune
There's nothing left for us
Than us left dangling just a little shamefaced.
It's such a waste of all that we have.
And it's such a waste of all that we have.
And it's such a waste of all that I am.

.And I've gone silver in my travels,
growing silver in my sideburns,
I'm starting to unravel.
Heard my heartbeat on a downhill,
I counted eighteen on my pulse as Kilrenny Church struck three for three o'clock.
What else?
And you said twelve years in retirement.
The hours go by like sips of water. The record lies unbroken,
and no doubt, it's white flour in my diet.
It's going to be the death of me, sweet drumroll for those embittered big ideas.
It's such a waste of all that I had.
You mentioned bats in the attic,
so now you're lifting up the tiles to get around these conservation rules.
I walked down in the basement.
I'm hanging upside down, a gag across my mealy mouth.
And how I'll laugh out loud about that.
When I read your simple novel, it uses all our real names.
And go make yourself a fortune,
there's nothing left for us then us left dangling just a little shamefaced.
It's such a waste of what we had.
And it's such a waste of all that we had.
And it's such a waste of all that I am.

repeating phrases like that goes back to Dylan
And never sat once at the head of the table
And didn't even talk to the people at the table
Who just cleaned up the food from the table
He does the same with
"struck three for three o clock "

“ I m’he anat fent de plata en els meus viatges,
Plata creixent en les meves patilles
He començat a desentranyar
Vaig escoltar el batec del meu cor en un pendent,
Vaig comptar 18 en el meu pols
El rellotge d’en Kilrenny va donar les tres
Per 3:00 què més?
Què més?
I vas dir : 12 anys a l’exili
Les hores passen com glops d’aigua.
L’expedient es troba intacte
I no hi ha dubte que és la farina blanca de la meva dieta
Això suposarà la meva mort
Un redoblament de tambor dolç per aquests grans idealistes amargats.
És un malbaratament de tot el que jo tenia.
Has parlat de ratpenats a l’àtic
De manera que ara estem aixecant les rajoles
Per evitar aquestes normes de conservació
Estic tancat al soterrani
Estic penjant cap per avall
M’emmordassen a través de la meva boca farinosa.
I com vaig a riure en veu alta sobre això.
Quan vaig llegir la senzilla novel·la
Que utilitza tots els nostres noms reals
I vaig fer una fortuna
Ara no queda res per a nosaltres.
És una pèrdua de tot el que tenim.
I és una pèrdua de tot el que tenim.
I és una pèrdua de tot el que sóc. “

This song is making me cry the first real tears I’ve felt in two years. It makes me think of him, even though neither of us would have heard this song. I know I’ll never get him back. At this point, I just hope he’s happy.
@Iamanalice
this man could sing the telephone directory to me...such a captivating voice..a gift for sure!
@allthebigtrees
I get goosebumbs every time I watch/hear this
@lifeisjustalullabyx
Same
@glenlittlejohn2412
Yep, me too.
@charlottesleet
Lay down on a dark room with your eyes shut to this song - perfect.
@mandokir
On repeat... forever.
@askidbarrett
Went to see him at Hawick last year and it was a beautiful gig. He spoke to everyone individually on arrival and had all the time in the world. Music for music sake rather than money.
@Goldenone333
My son shared this song with me. I really enjoy it. Thank you so much. ☮️🦋🌻
@amandabentes0
