cast of the curious case of benjamin button - a little life lyrics

Loading...

[benjamin b+tton]
i got a blanket on my bed
i got a roof over my head
but like my old man said
i’ve only got a little time

i was born so close to dyin’
with barley breath for sighin’
that it hardly seems worth tryin’
to even live

but all i want is to live a little life
feel a little bit of freedom, see a little bit of sea
oh, what i’d give for the little life i’d live
if i could live a little life

[gwyns, spoken]
except, it wasn’t a matter of time
or more accurately, not time as we know it

[morlan, spoken]
you see, just like the water that flowed in reverse at seventeen minutes past 8 p.m. on the 17th of december, 1918
so too did benjamin’s life

[tir, spoken]
one hundred and twenty times the man in the moon waxed and waned over the attic window
with the passin’ of ten years
[treth, spoken]
now a decade younger
each day benjamin’s joints ached a little less

[keynvor, spoken]
each day he woke a little less tired

[growan, spoken]
and each day he walked with a little less walkin’ stick

[benjamin b+tton]
i’d drink some sweet st austell ale
then i’d weave a drunken trail
that ends the night in bodmin jail
with some drunk kernowek fools

[benjamin b+tton & avoryow]
i’d catch a proper cornish meal
i’d hook a mackerel on my reel

[benjamin b+tton & strangers]
just think how free i’d feel
with my feet upon the shore

oh, all i want is to live a little life
do a little bit of drinkin’, lose a little of my heart
oh, what i’d give for the little life i’d live
if i could live a little life
[treth, spoken]
at 8:24 p.m. on the 6th of april, 1929
benjamin’s eyes were drawn to the wanin’ crescent moon
as it drifted past the attic window

[tonnow, spoken]
this was not the first time he’d looked to that window
and longed to climb through it to the world beyond

[sterenow, spoken]
this was the first time, however, benjamin felt enough strength in his body to do so

[benjamin b+tton]
i know i’ll never be forgiven for the way my life began
and that nothin’ can repair the hurt i’ve done
but a little bit of livin’ is the right of any man
and a little life ain’t hurtin’ anyone

[strangers, benjamin b+tton]
all i want is to live a little life (oh, i could live a little life)
feel a little bit of freedom, see a little bit of sea (see a little bit of sea)
oh, what i’d give

[benjamin b+tton & strangers]
for the life i’d live
[strangers, benjamin b+tton]
if i could live a little life (if i could live a little life)
if i could live a little life (just a little bit of life)

[benjamin b+tton]
if i could live a little life
