"I Just Get Older" lyrics - MURRAY MCLAUCHLAN

Trains keep a runnin down these tracks
The temper-A-ture drops
Mile on mile these wheels do roll
And never do they stop
I've got a lot of things stowed up
Between my hair and shoulders
Ask me what I do and I'll tell you
I just get older

I used to think to love someone
Would make your life complete
Set you up upon a throne
And take you off the street
Someone to hold your secrets there
In trust and never break it
Lots of people want to love
But not too many take it

It might seem that I'm wasting time
My end loams o'er my shoulder
Ask me what I do and I'll tell you
I just get older

So the leaves will fall each year
Of one thing I am certain
You and I will share this earth
Till death brings down the curtain

Lovers will they comfort me
To brighten each new day
I will laugh and further go
And take what comes my way

Yes I will laugh and further go
And take what comes my way.
