Now that our babies have grown
Our babies have grown
They’re looking like killers
And sleeping with danger
Now that our babies have grown
Now that our babies drive fast
… way too fast
They leave without kissing
And take off with our dreams
We lie awake in the dark
They’re gone - no goodbyes
We’re left here to die
We bump into mirrors
And face up to our looks
Have to see eye to eye
But - Oh - who’d wanna leave?
Not while there’s fruit on the tree
There’s room on the throne
Now that our babies have grown
Now that our babies have grown
And gone
Now that our love is so long
Our love … so long
We speak as we leave rooms
And hang on for dear life
Drink the last drop ‘til it’s gone
Not so fast - stay in your seat
Our bones need to speak
They stop what we’re thinking
And will not go dancing
But I’m not admitting defeat
But where else could we go?
Each day we’re putting on the show
The great unknown …
Now that our babies have grown
Now that our babies have grown
And gone
