callum james - when i grow old lyrics

[verse 1]
when i grow old, will my eyes be blue?
hair stay blonde, no missing tooth?
drive around in fancy cars
see pretty girls and nice guitars
learn a language, find some work
see new york not from google earth
a great big world not four blue walls
will it seem so small when i grow tall?
when i grow tall, when i grow tall

[verse 2]
when i grow old, i’ll find your heart
i’ll promise mine, just give me part
and i don’t need no house, no car
i have your hand and all you are
and i can’t promise diamond rings
so i’ll build a castle brick by brick
and where we go, we’ll spin a globe
see where it lands and build a home

[chorus 1]
we’ll build a home, we’ll build a home
we’ll build a home, we’ll build a life here down from earth
so the nights we fight, we hurt, we’ll be alright
“’cause i’m alive tonight in the sky tonight
way up high tonight”, she said
will it be cold, will it be cold?
i lose my love, i live alone
my legs don’t work, these breaking bones
but look above and let me know
will you leave flowers at my stone?
will you leave flowers at my stone?

[verse 3]
when i grow old, i’ll hold your scan
and put my life here where she stands
and all i own is yours to have
born in arms and raised at hand
i’ll share my eyes, my ears with you
you’ll be raised on beatles and bowie too
but keep a smile just like your mum’s
and call me dad, i’ll call you son
and we’ll grow old, yeah we’ll grow old

[chorus 2]
yeah we’ll grow old, yeah we spent forty years on earth
“my daddy’s gone, it really hurts, i wonder why
i’m alive tonight in the sky tonight
way up high tonight”, she said
will it be cold, will it be cold?
i lose my love, i live alone
my legs don’t work, these breaking bones
but look above and let me know
will you leave flowers at my stone?
will you leave flowers at my stone?

[bridge]
and as her eyes begin to fade
i sit beside here where she lay
and hold me close, don’t let this go
this ain’t no home, this ain’t no home

[chorus 3]
and watch my hair turn blonde to grey
my sweet sixteen, take my breath away
and leave me lonely in this home
as i lay flowers at your stone
i cry by flowers at your stone
goodbye by flowers at your stone
and i lay flowers at your stone
(just look above and let me know)
i’ll lay by flowers at your stone
i cry by flowers at your stone
(keep me close, won’t let me go)
goodbye by flowers at your stone
i cry by flowers at your stone
(just look above and let me know)
goodbye by flowers at your stone

[outro]
when i grow old, will my eyes be blue?
hair stay blonde, no missing tooth
will the world seem small? will it grow cold?
when i grow old, when i grow old
