lyrics
Safe in your arms
Knowing that the world can do no harm
The thrill of the night
And seeing that the world can be alright
The world is out of sight til morning
This is When We Come Of Age
I think it's When We Come Of Age
As I become you
I'm forgetting everything I knew
I'm tied to your bed
My previous life is racing from my head
Looks like I may be dead before morning
This is When We Come Of Age
I think it's When We Come Of Age
And people not yet born
Will pour ridicule and scorn
On the very idea that just we know the score
And that no-one's experienced the things we've experience before
But we know more
Knowing that the world can do no harm
The thrill of the night
And seeing that the world can be alright
The world is out of sight til morning
This is When We Come Of Age
I think it's When We Come Of Age
As I become you
I'm forgetting everything I knew
I'm tied to your bed
My previous life is racing from my head
Looks like I may be dead before morning
This is When We Come Of Age
I think it's When We Come Of Age
And people not yet born
Will pour ridicule and scorn
On the very idea that just we know the score
And that no-one's experienced the things we've experience before
But we know more

Listening to a lot of Kevin Robertson and the Vapour Trails recently. Superb songwriting and playing. Those guitar sounds are so damn good.
