Keaton Henson - Old Lovers In Dressing Rooms lyrics

It wasn't very long for us When you're young it isn't hard to trust I told her I was seventeen She said that's how she still remembers me I haven't many words to say I thought about you every day And she seems disappointed When I say that I'm not happy yet And I ask her if she liked the show She says she heard me on the radio And only works a few blocks down the street She leaves her coat on but she takes a seat Was it really that worth writing about? They say your record deal is over now And did you love me like the way you wrote? Well I'm afraid so, I'm afraid so She tells me she is happy now She really loves him and they have a house I say I'm glad for her and should have known I have one too now but I live alone "Is it really you behind that beard?" I say I think so and we count the years We tell stories and we sort of laugh And then she jokes she wants my autograph And it really how you sing it dear? Oh I remember worse than blood and tears And did you love me like the way you wrote? Well I'm afraid so, I'm afraid so She smiles and says she has to go I'm left in silence all alone 'Til they come and say I've gotta leave They say there's people that I have to meet
