The Kids Are All Grown (Blackbird Version)

And it came over me

Did it come over you

The feeling we were late

Like we made a mistake

Or there was something we forgot to do

Is it just me

Have I been so cavalier

Did I fuck up my life

Did I ruin the night

Can I turn it around from here

And in line with the horizon

I catch your eyes and

I can tell your heart's been spent

And though my back's to the wall

I'm not ready to go home yet

Yeah you can tell the bar

They can keep my card

And ring out the whole night's check

'Cause I know they wanna close

I'm not ready to go home yet

You were seventeen

Lit out from your parents' house

To the jungle of the street

Where the strangers meet

Where they look you in the mouth

And the words they came

And the words they went

Like they flew off of your tongue

Now you can't put your finger on it

And in line with horizon

I catch your eyes and

I can tell your heart's been spent

And though my back's to the wall

I'm not ready to go home yet

I was proud to live through it

I tried hard to prove it

And I wouldn't wanna do it again

I guess the kids are all grown

But I'm not ready to go home yet

I'm not ready to go home yet

It came over me

As a force of God

As if the bile in my mouth

Was forcing me to drown

In all that I am not

And would never be

Short of something quite profound

I guess the kids are all grown

Everybody's gone home

And we're the only ones left here now

And in line with horizon

It took me by surprise

When I saw it just as clear as it gets

How unceremonious

I guess we should've known this would

Someday lead to regret

So I clung for dear life

To a dull spark of light

So sad sick and desperate

Screaming leave me alone

I'm not ready to go home yet

I'm not ready to go home yet

Now the kids are all grown

But I'm not ready to go home yet

I'm not ready to go home yet
