lyrics

Names on a cross in a market square
Wreathes on the waves of a bitter cold sea
Black and white photos of faces that nobody knows
Long lost to their memory

Newspaper cuttings cast on the floor
Blown by the breeze they get lost with the leaves
As November comes round once more
Winter knocks on my door

CHORUS Hope I never grow old
Hope I never grow old

To lie in your bed in the still of the night
A knock on the door makes your heart beat with fright
And you daren't walk the streets without walking in fear of your life
Hope I never grow old

When life's full of yesterdays and all that you've seen,
But you can't quite remember the places you've been
When you don't see the future, you just close your eye and then dream
Hope I never grow old

CHORUS

She lived in fear of God for the most of her life
Sure if he trusted him he's put this world right
And then after sixty years, a youth walks to her and sneers
"Your handbag or your life my dear"
Now it isn't it only God she fears
