The Older We Get - Hothouse Flowers

As a child touching age we think that it’s so

That life, love and everything is easy to know

The old, they can’t reach us, their ways are not ours

Though they furrowed our futures, our freedom they bore

The older we get, the farther we see

The more we mean to each other

The more you mean to me

I believe in these people, I believe in this age

Though I hear about torment in lives lonely page

Yet still we walk strong, we’ll remember we’re free

For the truth we are given, for what we believe

The older we get, the farther we see

The more we mean to each other

The more you mean to me, oh

I have searched out the answers to the mysteries, the laws

Though still I find barriers, yet still I would fall

But I still struggle on the truth that I seek

But I must remain strong for the lonely, the weak, the weak, the old

The older we get, the farther we see

The more we mean to each other

The more you mean to me, older we get

The older we get, the farther we see

The more we mean to each other

The more you mean to me

The older we get, the farther we see

The more we mean to each other

The more you mean to me

The older we get, the farther we see

The more we mean to each other

The more you mean to me, yes
