From the recording One Light Town

Lyrics

No we can’t see into the dark. Can’t light a fire without a spark. And I can’t read your mind until you talk to me. Tell me your hopes what are your dreams, there ain’t a secret that I can’t keep.
They say the heart, yea it grows fonder. Sure, just like dirty money launderers. It’s getting old, we ain’t getting younger. Lets Lie and say it ain’t much longer.
No we can’t speed up ticking clocks. Can’t rearrange these towns in ideal spots, and I can’t be the woman you want me to be. I’ve got my own hopes and my dreams. I just can’t drop everything.
They say the heart, yea it grows fonder. Sure, just like dirty money launderers. It’s getting old, we ain’t getting younger. Lets lie and say it ain’t much longer.
Dont ever ask a woman to marry you, tell her that she’s your son your stars your moon, when all the while you’re seeing other people too. How many is they is that a few? You said nothing happened… Is that true?
They say the heart, yea it grows fonder. Sure, just like dirty money launderers. It’s getting old, we ain’t getting younger. Let’s lie and say it ain’t much longer.
