Oh James, you're looking older now
Than the town
You're slowing down
Nobody seems to care for you
But I do, but I do
Remember when your rooms were full
Of lonely folks
And time was slow
Now all you are's an empty cup
And I've grown up, yeah, I've grown up
Grown up
Dust collecting dust
The bell no longer reaches us
The copper bleeds with rust
Guess that's alright
It saddens me to hear the change
The words that fade
As people age
Somebody ought to care for you
'Cause something soon could tear me too
Me too
Dust collecting dust
The book no longer speaks to us
Things only happen once
Guess that's alright
Your red is deep within my skin
My weekly sin
Spill on the chin
Somebody used to care for you
But I still do, yeah, I still do
Oh James, you look across the crowd
Above the town
You're peaking out
You know I'll see you in the end
My lonely friend, I'll be home again
My friend
