Lyrics

This year, out of all the years, I wish to share
I cannot see the age in you, if I am not here
Tell me each footstep of your adventures
The small events that change you
How dare you change without me
Today you say you found an upturned crab, an upturned crab
How unfortunate I was to have missed that
I would have loved to have seen
Your mind working out this salty little scene
Discussing all the truths playing out in front of you
I made a life on the road, and I thought I was doing grand
But the gold remained at home, and I missed watching you grow
How I missed watching you grow
La-da-da-da
Today you say you found an upturned crab, an upturned crab
How unfortunate I was to have missed that
Written by: James Patrick Yorkstone Wright, James Yorkston
