David Gray - Place to Be Lyrics

When I was young, younger than before
I never saw the truth hanging from the door
And now I'm older, see it face to face
Yeah, now I'm older, gotta get up, clean the place

And I was green, greener than the hill
Where flowers grew and the sun shone still
(Now I'm darker) But now I'm darker than the deepest sea
(Just hand me down) Just hand me down, give me a place to be

And I was strong, strong in the sun
I thought I'd see when day was done
(Now I'm weaker) Now I'm weaker than the palest blue
(Oh, so weak) Oh, so weak in this need for you
