G D C It's a sign I'm getting on in years Em D C When nothing new is welcome to these eyes and ears (Chorus) Final Verse: G D C They're growing houses in the fields between the towns Em D C G And the Starlight Drive-in movie is all closed down G D C The road is gone to the way it was before Em D C And the spaces won't be spaces anymore G Am D G No the spaces won't be spaces anymore Please forward additional Gorka material to cljohnso@aol.com
