They said to us when we were young
Wear suncream if you're going in the sun
They said that
The sun it does things to your skin that are well beyond your years

And I wonder why it seems that all
These goods things just grow and die
Maybe that's just love it lifts you up
And it kills you all at the same damn time

Would you be my Thelma Plum
Sing me songs when we're home alone
When the suns kissed my eyes one too many times
You can lay me down

And if my eyes flicker in doubt
You can just say, well maybe you're worn out
Maybe you're worn, maybe you're worn out
Maybe you're worn, maybe you're worn out

I saw you there across the crowd
West coast girl singing songs of mine
How I wish I got to learn your name
And looked well I wish that I wasn't so tired

And I wonder why it seems that all
These good things just come and leave
But have you noticed that we only count the hours
And we've cut down all the best old trees

Would you be my Thelma Plum
Sing me songs when we're home alone
When the suns kissed my eyes one too many times
You can lay me down

And if my eyes flicker in doubt
You can just say, well maybe you're worn out
Maybe you're worn, maybe you're worn out
Maybe you're worn, maybe you're worn out
Maybe you're worn out

Grab a cup of tea go to bed
I'll kiss you on your eyelids when the morning comes to wake you up

Maybe you're worn out
Grab a cup of tea go to bed

I'll kiss you on your eyelids when the morning comes to wake you up
Maybe you're worn out

Grab a cup of tea go to bed
I'll kiss you on your eyelids when the morning comes to wake you up

Maybe you're worn out
Grab a cup of tea go to bed

I'll kiss you on your eyelids when the morning comes
To wake you up
