A Little Too Old

from Dust Windows by Kingsley Flood

/

lyrics

Well I warned you about Etta James, and her monumental mistakes
She never let her lipstick dry
She always let em see her cry

And I caught you with a camera and curls, and a push pin map of the world
Your diary was new and neat
Like the sparkles underneath your feet

Out of a blue, they were singing a song, and I don’t know why you were singing along.
Everyone knows, darling, everyone knows you’re a little too old for that.

I once was a man who could cry. I once had wings, I could fly
But there’s only one way to eat
There’s only one ground for your feet

So go on, go on Betty Blue. Maybe the stars will wish upon you
Or maybe you’ll be just like me
And your wings will turn back into feet

Out of a blue, they were singing a song, and I don’t know why you were singing along.
Everyone knows, darling, everyone knows you’re a little too old for that.

Oh Elaine, won’t you save me.
