Older chests reveal themselves
Like a crack in a wall Starting small, and grow in time And we all seem to need the help Of someone else To mend that shelf Too many books Read me your favorite line Papa went to other lands And he found someone who understands The ticking, and the western man's need to cry He came back the other day I know some things in life may change And some things they stay the same Like time, there's always time On my mind So pass me by, I'll be fine Just give me time Older gents sit on the fence With their cap in hand Looking grand They watch their city change Children scream, or so it seems, Louder than before Out of doors, and into stores with bigger names Mama tried to wash their faces But these kids they lost their graces And daddy lost at the races too many times She broke down the other day I know some things in life may change But some things they stay the same Like time, there's always time On my mind So pass me by, I'll be fine Just give me time Time, there's always time On my mind Pass me by, I'll be fine Just give me time  submitted by Kaleigh |

 512 posts | I really love the mixture of Damien's and Lisa's voices (I'm guessing this is Lisa, really), and also how it sounds like he's about to cry at the end, the desperation. Who can't realte to this? |

Yeah good song, not as good as some of the others on the album though. I like the contrast of Damien's vocals with the woman singing, sounds good. |
