Tim Sharville - Growing Old Alone Lyrics

Looking back to yesterday and the small house that we called home
And all the kids who came to stay I could not believe they were our own
But I always thought that you would be here till the day
That I could die with you Mary Jane

For forty years we climbed that hill and I can see the past down below
But the sun it always shined out, it came on through when it seemed cold
But I never thought that I would be growing old alone
And I'll always miss you Mary Jane

Last night I dreamt that you were here, lying next to me
We talked of life we talk of love then you kissed me, so naturally
But even though you said goodbye then faded away
I'll always remember you my Jane

Because this road that we travel, it turns in every way
There's an easy route, but there's not much to gain
Can you tell me which way it's gonna turn today
It's not been easy along the way

I must admit there were times when I could not get by
The children they would grow and then they'd turn they'd ask me why
But with what you left behind they would not stray far
Cause you breathed light into their eyes
Yes you breathed light into their eyes
That shines as bright as a star
Oh nothing can compare to you my Mary Jane
And I'll one day see you again
