You're Aging Well - Dar Williams[00:00:00]

Why is it that as we grow older and stronger[00:00:22]

The road signs point us adrift and make us afraid[00:00:26]

Saying 'You never can win'[00:00:30]

'Watch your back' 'Where's your husband '[00:00:32]

I don't like the signs that the signmakers made[00:00:35]

So I'm going to steal out with my paint and brushes[00:00:40]

I'll change the directions I'll hit every street[00:00:44]

It's the Tinseltown scandal the robin hood vandal[00:00:49]

She goes out and steals the king's English[00:00:54]

And in the morning you wake up and the signs point to you[00:00:58]

They say "I'm so glad that you finally made it here[00:01:02]

You thought nobody cared but I did I could tell[00:01:06]

And this is your year and it always starts here[00:01:11]

And oh you're aging well"[00:01:15]

Well I know a woman with a collection of sticks[00:01:30]

She could fight back the hundreds of voices she heard[00:01:34]

She could poke at the greed she could fend off her need[00:01:38]

And with anger she found she could pound every word[00:01:42]

But one voice got through caught her up by surprise[00:01:48]

It said "Don't hold us back we're the story you tell"[00:01:52]

And no sooner than spoken a spell had been broken[00:01:57]

And the voices before her were trumpets and tympani[00:02:02]

Violins basses and woodwinds and cellos singing[00:02:07]

"We're so glad that you finally made it here[00:02:11]

You thought nobody cared but we did we could tell[00:02:14]

And now you'll dance through the days while the orchestra plays[00:02:19]

And oh you're aging well"[00:02:23]

Now when I was fifteen oh I knew it was over[00:02:51]

The road to enchantment was not mine to take[00:02:55]

'Cause lower calf upper arm should be half what they are[00:03:00]

I was breaking the laws that the signmakers made[00:03:04]

And all I could eat was the poisonous apple[00:03:10]

And that's not a story I was meant to survive[00:03:14]

I was all out of choices but the woman of voices[00:03:19]

She turned round the corner with music around her[00:03:23]

She gave me the language that keeps me alive she said[00:03:28]

"I'm so glad that you finally made it here[00:03:33]

With the things you know now that only time could tell[00:03:36]

Looking back seeing far landing right where we are[00:03:41]

And oh you're aging oh and I am aging oh aren't we aging well "[00:03:45]
