Ageing Bones

Swore I never would said I’d go my own way
Irony is that I’m just the same hear myself in things you used to say
Mark my words boy I hear you now there you go again telling me how 
The same expression I’ve got your frown conversations fencing around

Look at me now here I go following you in these ageing bones
Look at me now here I go following you in these ageing bones
One foot in front of the other dancing the same dance like I’ve always known
The steps and the moves can we take them slow 

Eye to eye we never quite saw I wish we’d said more
Sharp retorts a telling remark a bite not as strong as the bark
In the silence we both understood words not needed just looks
Faces read like open books a glance that’s all it took

Guess that sometimes I let you down expectations not met
Moments of madness been a fool been a clown no I’m not proud 
A face in a mirror that’s wondering now where the years went
Laughter and tears together once shared too late to regret
