Lyrics
When I was older, the hair on my shoulders had all turned to white
And sure it looked right
In every line I could trace a reminder of stories to tell,
The lives that I’ve held
I’d look around and smile at the peace that I had found
When I was older the world wasn’t quite so bad
I had a true love, but he made a fool of me
I was too young to know what he’d done
Then came another, began to recover
We wanted so bad to leave it at that
Oh how I cried, just trying to make it through the night
When I was older the world wasn’t quite so bad
Every road leads to something we’ve always had
True, there are times I would leave it behind
When I’m tired of the fight between me and my eyes
All the anxiety living inside of me
Louder than love, says give it all up
There’s nothing wrong with feeling like you might not belong
When I was older the world wasn’t quite so bad
Every road leads to something we’ve always had
When I was older the winters were colder
My basket was full with bundles of wool
All of the children surrounding us building a world of their own
A place to call home
When we were gone, they’d gather and keep a candle on
When I was older the world wasn’t quite so bad
Every road leads to something we’ve always had
