G
Left wing, savoir faire
Em
Ageing flicks of my thin brown hair

Like an elegy, soaking me

Life don’t animate
G
Just creeps up on you slowly.

In Little Italy I re-adhere.

Just creeps up on you slowly.

the same as normal water does?

Life don’t animate

Just creeps up on you slowly.

the same as normal water does?
