James Lyrics

Oh James, you're looking older now

Than the town

You're slowing down

Nobody seems to care for you

But I do, but I do

Remember when your rooms were full

Of lonely folks

And time was slow

Now all you are's an empty cup

And I've grown up, yeah, I've grown up

Grown up

Dust collecting dust

The bell no longer reaches us

The copper bleeds with rust

Guess that's alright

It saddens me to hear the change

The words that fade

As people age

Somebody ought to care for you

'Cause something soon could tear me too

Me too

Dust collecting dust

The book no longer speaks to us

Things only happen once

Guess that's alright

Your red is deep within my skin

My weekly sin

Spill on the chin

Somebody used to care for you

But I still do, yeah, I still do

Oh James, you look across the crowd

Above the town

You're peaking out

You know I'll see you in the end

My lonely friend, I'll be home again

My friend
