Lyrics Hothouse Flowers

Hothouse Flowers

The Older We Get

As a child touching age we think that its so

That life love and everything is easy to know

The old, they can't reach us,

Their ways are not ours

Though the furrowed our futures

Our freedom they bore

The older we get the further we see

The more we mean to each other

The more you mean to me

I believe in these people

I believe in this age

Though I hear about torment in lifes lonely page

Yet still we walk strong

Well remember we're free

For the truth we are given

For what we believe

The older we get the further we see

The more we mean to each other

The more you mean to me

I have searched out the answers

To the mysteries the laws

Though I still find barriers

Yet still I would fall

But I struggle on

The truth that I seek

But I must remain strong

For the lonely the weak the weak the old

The older we get the further we see

The more we mean to each other

The more you mean to me
