24

What do you know? Suddenly you're older now They call you a grown up, with the dog and the bills And the garden, and the picturesque house And the pear tree is budding up a third year And if your mother were still here The fallen blossoms on the lawn would all disappear And you're in love, you pray to God it's forever But you look around, and think why try altogether? But he's endless, and on my skin like sand on the shore And that's enough for me right now anyway at 24 You travel the world, swim under a waterfall You have everything you ever wanted You wonder when your dad will call And you're in New York again With your oldest friend And the basket of bread's still warm And that's enough for me right now anyway at 24 Oh, I know more than I ever have And yet I know nothing at all I'm a floating feather, I'm a constant cannonball I'm somebody's baby, someone else's midnight call I know more than I ever have And yet nothing at all Well, what do you know? Suddenly you're 24
