When the flowers on my wall start to bend and peel and sway,
See them all fall, see them crumble.
When my vibrant tangled hair, turns dusty, neat and grey,
It’ll still be me, right underneath.
Old like lacquer,
So old it cracks yea,
Oh it’s so old.
But you rock it like fantastic,
And everybody’s after it now.
I’m getting scared when I see you,
Your face looks wiser with the truth,
I see it coming, coming for me.
And I’m lonely can’t you tell?
Well I guess I hide it well,
Where did you meet Dad?
I want someone like that.
What do you mean when you say to me?
I’m young and full of dreams?
Will all my dreams grow old with me?
When I put myself to bed, I think about the things I know,
And I know nothing, I know nothing.
And I look right up above at the paper on my wall,
I see it all fall, I see it crumble.

The whole album is awesome. But I gravitated first toward "Portland". Then "Wildwood Flower" because I'm familiar the 10,000 Maniacs cover. Very different; AVK's is very contemplative. Jameson Calantoc
