Intro

/ / / x2

 It took so long to get me back on my feet

 It takes so long to find the words and the beat

And Charlie's waiting on the end of the phone

 To hear you call on him to try to recapture

 But them old records won't be saving your soul

 And them feelings got the reasons you know

That you've forgotten somewhere

 Riding a train to place

 You are out in the cold cold

And it feels like all you'd have to do is step outside

Stop pacing around and waiting for some moment

 That might never arrive

But you're never gonna find it

Like when you were young

 And everybody used to call you lucky

Pre-Verse

 Nothing feels right in the wintery cold

 Steam, heat, clang, and the dark at your door

All the other rooms are a party tonight

 And you never got an invitation

 And you feel in your bones, steady aching some more

 Twenty five years gone just an hour ago

Momma never told me there'd be days like these

 Until it was much too late to recover

And it feels like all you'd have to do is step outside

Stop pacing around and waiting for some moment that might never arrive

But you're never gonna find it

 When your knees got so weak

 But it's right here in case you need it

 Like when you were young

 And everybody used to call you lucky

 When you were young

 And everybody used to call you lucky

But it feels like you just might explode inside

You've been pacing around and waiting

 For some moment that might never arrive at all

What you don't have, you don't need it anymore

What you don't have, you don't need it anymore

But you're never gonna find it

 When your knees got so weak

 And it's right here in case you need it

Like when you were young

 And everybody used to call you lucky

When you were young

And everybody used to call you lucky

If you're anywhere in Manhattan

In the next eight days or so

Let me know

Speak soon, stay lucky.
