The Fountain of Youth

from On My Mind by Noah Denzer

/

lyrics

when i met her she was looking for the fountain of youth
she had a mind of her own she was a bit uncuth
she took my hand and with that crooked smile
she said come on babe lets stay young for a while.

oh she always got her way there was no doubt about that
alexandra the great with a little black cat
she had that new world luck and a cowboy hat
you know i started out strong i guess i fell a bit flat

no she never payed mind to the swing of the times
shed sing just about anything just as long as it rhymes
she was quick on the draw she could turn on a dime
i knew itd be pretty damn hard tryna make her mine

oh no time to waste she didnt give me that long
when youre fighting the clock so much can go wrong
like ponce de leon she was stringin me on
and i didnt even know it until she was gone

well that ship has sailed and made it pretty far
discovered new world and broke new hearts
but she was still looking for truth for some fountain of youth
cause in afew years she started falling apart

oh and aint it a shame now just to look at the wreck
she used to shine like the pearls that hung from her neck
but some day we all find that the thing abut time is when you run and it finds you it treats you unkind
