I could never write a love song but a few made me cry
It's not the one I try and cross my heart and hope to die
And if I somehow manage to write my first today
It'll be a different song with different things to say
Cause you're 39,
you're beautiful but you're no longer mine
No matter what Paul Kelly says, life ain't fine
And though a star exploded and then we formed from the dust
It's hard to believe the universe believes in us
If there's a bigger picture then I'm yet to see it all
In the meantime I'll whistle up another cannonball
So please leave your light on while your loving's
on my mind No matter what Paul Kelly says,
life ain't
fine
And if I saw you happy I would wonder who you are
Most the time you're sad as Charlie Owen's slide guitar
I know it's not quite poetry,
my rhyming is the worst
Shakespeare said it better and I think he said it first
I don't make the perfect gravy,
I won't make you change your mind
No matter what Paul Kelly says, life ain't fine
Cause you're 39,
you're beautiful but you're no longer mine
And life
ain't fine
