Age Gap Blues

I got wrinkles on my hands she’s got flowers in her hair

She’s a sunrise in the morning I’m the shade that's always there

They say love’s like a river well ours runs deep and wide

Twenty years between us but she’s always by my side

They talk they whisper they don’t see what’s true

She’s got a young heart but it’s old for me and you

Time’s just a number love’s got its own clue

We’re singing the same song just a different hue

She calls me her old soul I call her my spark

She lights up the day I warm the cold and dark

Her laughter’s my chorus her tears are my rain

When love’s strong as oak who’s counting the dancing grain

They talk they whisper they don’t see what’s true

She’s got a young heart but it’s old for me and you

Time’s just a number love’s got its own clue

We’re singing the same song just a different hue

Every wrinkle on my face every line that I’ve earned

She says they’re a map to the lessons I’ve learned

She’s the flame I cradle in my calloused hands

Together we’re a fire love that ever expands

They talk they whisper they don’t see what’s true

She’s got a young heart but it’s old for me and you

Time’s just a number love’s got its own clue

We’re singing the same song just a different hue
