Title: One-way Turnstile
Lyrics One-way Turnstilefather, forgive me
i am lost, and i don't know when i will
find my way, i am aging
and you're older still
i have no money saved to warm you in your winter cottage
age has brought me wisdom
but i'm growing thin on knowledge
i'm just as glad
for the years i've had
as for those i lack
i'm not going back
one, two, three, four, five
six, seven, eight, nine, ten
i made it through the first time
i'm not going back again
ten, twenty, thirty, forty
fifty, all the while
everyday
it's one way through the turnstile
mother, forgive me
i have strayed in ways i never meant to
i was too young, it was too much
for me to understand you
but now i'm grown, i've learned to laugh
at my embarrassments
your life is fine, i'm sad that mine
pales in comparison
i'm just as glad
for the years i've had
as for those i lack
i'm not going back
one, two, three, four, five
six, seven, eight, nine, ten
i made it through the first time
i'm not going back again
ten, twenty, thirty, forty
fifty, all the while
everyday
it's one way through the turnstile |
