[00:00.00]Forty Five Years - Peter Thompson
[00:15.14]Where the earth shows it's bones of wind-broken stone
[00:18.88]And the sea and the sky are one
[00:22.90]I'm caught out of time
[00:24.84]My blood sings with wine
[00:26.73]And I'm running naked in the sun
[00:30.40]There's god in the trees
[00:31.91]I'm weak in the knees
[00:33.91]And the sky is a painful blue
[00:37.92]I'd like to look around but honey all I see is you
[00:48.86]Now the summer city lights will soften the night
[00:52.72]Til you'd think that the air is clear
[00:56.37]And I'm sitting with friends
[00:58.58]Where forty-five cents
[01:00.22]Will buy another glass of beer
[01:03.86]Here is something to say
[01:05.61]But I'm so far away
[01:08.17]I don't know who I'm talking to
[01:11.38]You just walked in the door
[01:13.18]And honey all I see is you
[01:19.07]I just want to hold you closer
[01:21.81]Than I've ever held anyone before
[01:26.28]You say you've been twice a wife
[01:28.33]And you're through with life
[01:30.63]Honey what the hell's it for
[01:33.88]After twenty-three years you'd think I could find
[01:37.65]A way to let you know somehow
[01:41.65]I want to see your smiling face
[01:43.71]Forty-five years from now
[02:00.73]Alone in the lights on stage every night
[02:03.92]I've been reaching out to find a friend
[02:07.94]Who knows all the words
[02:10.00]Sings so she's heard
[02:11.48]And knows how all the stories end
[02:15.13]Maybe after the show she'll ask me to go
[02:18.92]Home with her for a drink or two
[02:22.58]Now her smile lights her eyes
[02:24.89]But honey all I see is you
[02:30.31]I just want to hold you closer
[02:33.08]Than I've ever held anyone before
[02:37.39]You say you've been twice a wife
[02:39.53]And you're through with life
[02:41.81]Honey what the hell's it for
[02:45.12]After twenty-three years
[02:47.05]You'd think I could find
[02:48.89]A way to let you know somehow
[02:52.89]I want to see your smiling face
[02:55.00]Forty-five years from now
[03:00.36]I just want to hold you closer
[03:03.31]Than I've ever held
[03:04.94]Anyone before
[03:07.67]Say you've been twice a wife
[03:09.56]And you're through with life
[03:11.84]Honey what the hell's it for
[03:15.18]After twenty-three years you'd think I could find
[03:19.04]A way to let you know somehow
[03:23.09]I want to see your smiling face
[03:24.98]Forty-five years from now
[03:30.11]Yes I want to see your smiling face
[03:32.51]Forty-five years from now
[03:37.52]Oh I want to see your smiling face
[03:40.17]Forty-five years from now
