Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm over the hill, under the bridge
Still a few peaks and valleys I ain't seen
You talk about love, I talk about love
I don't know any better than to dream
[Verse 2]
I know your father's house
It has many rooms
I see the young men
Sweepin' up with their brooms
[Verse 3]
But if you want me
I'm over the hill
Yeah, if you want me
I'm over the hill
[Verse 4]
I'm long in the tooth, and what can I say?
I take a huge bites of life and I ate the bones
The gristle and marrow feeds my soul
Gives me strength to forgive all the sticks and stones
[Verse 5]
And what you see in me
You think I see too
I didn't get here
Telling stories for you
[Verse 6]
But if you want me
I'm over the hill, yeah
And if you want me, baby
I'm over the hill
[Verse 7]
I hear a distant cry
A tear forms in your eye
For the way things might have been
We can't live that again
No time to fill the cup
No time to screw it up
We'll have to place our bets
On a dog with no regrets
[Verse 8]
Well, time won't tell heaven or hell
Time just pisses his secrets down the street
You talk about love, I talk about love
Sometimes I even think we know what we mean
[Verse 9]
No band of angels
Bringin' peace to the streets
We wear the garments
And we shuffle our feet
[Verse 10]
But if you want me, baby
I'm over the hill, yeah
But if you want me, baby
I'm over the hill
[Verse 11]
Oh, I'm over the hill, baby
I'm over the hill, baby
I'm over the hill, baby
