 Line  One is  the time
  when  you, you first  stayed over  at mine.
 And  we drank our first  bottle  of wine.
   Then  we cried.
 Two,  we're away,
 and  we both, we both  had nowhere  to stay.
 Well  the bus shelters  always  okay,
   when  you're young.
 Now  you're older and I look  at your face,
 Every  wrinkle is so easy  to place,
 And  I only write them down just  in case
 You  should die.
 Just  take a look at these  crows feet, just look
 Sitting  on the prettiest eyes,
 Sixty  twenty-fifth of Decembers,
 Fifty-nine  fourth of Julys.
 Not  through the age or the failure  children,
 Not  through the hate or despise.
 Take  a good look at these crows  feet,
 Sitting  on the prettiest  eyes
 Line Three, I forget,
 But I think, I think it was our first ever bet,
 And the horse we backed was short of a leg --
 Never mind
 Four, in a park,
 And the things, the things that people do in the dark.
 I could hear the faintest beat of your heart
 Then we did.
 Repeat BRIDGE
 Just take a look at these crows feet, just look
 Sitting on the prettiest eyes
 60 25th of Decembers
 59 4th of Julys
 You can't have too many good times children
 You can't have too many lines
 Take a good look at these crows feet sitting on the prettiest eyes
 Well  my eyes look like  a map of  the town
 And  my teeth are either  yellow or they're  brown
 But  you'll never hear  the crack  of a frown when you  are here
 No  you'll never hear  the crack  of a frown.
