Over The Hill

Lyrics

I'm over the hill, under the bridge
 Still a few peaks and down the hills, I ain't seen
 ♪
 You talk about love, I talk about love
 I don't know any better than to dream
 ♪
 I know your father's house, it has many rooms
 I see the young men sweeping up with their brooms
 But if you want me
 I'm over the hill
 ♪
 Yeah if you want me
 I'm over the hill
 ♪
 I'm longing a tooth, and what can I say
 I've taken huge bites of life and I ate the bones
 ♪
 The gristle and mellow feeds my soul
 Gives me the strength to forgive all the sticks and stones
 ♪
 And what you see in me you think I see too
 I didn't get here telling stories for you
 But if you want me
 I'm over the hill
 ♪
 Yeah if you want me baby
 I'm over the hill
 ♪
 I hear a distant cry
 A tear forms in your eye
 For the way things might have been
 We can't live that again
 No time to fill the cup
 No time to screw it up
 We'll have to place our bets
 On a door with no regrets
 ♪
 Well time won't tell, heaven or hell
 Time just pisses his secrets down the street
 ♪
 You talk about love, I talk about love
 Sometimes I'll even think we know what we mean
 ♪
 No band of angels bringing peace to the streets
 We wear the garments and we shuffle our feet
 But if you want me baby
 I'm over the hill, yeah
 ♪
 But if you want me baby
 I'm over the hill
 Oh, I'm over the hill baby
 I'm over the hill baby
 I'm over the hill baby
