Lyrics You're Aging Well - Joan Baez
Why
is
it
that
as
we
grow
older
and
stronger
The
road
signs
point
us
adrift
and
make
us
afraid
Sayin′,
"You
never
can
win
Watch
your
back,
where's
your
husband?"
I
don′t
like
the
signs
that
the
signmakers
made
So
I'm
gonna
steal
out
with
my
paint
and
my
brushes
I'll
change
the
directions,
I′ll
hit
every
street
It′s
the
Tinseltown
scandal,
the
Robin
Hood
vandal
She
goes
out
and
steals
the
King's
English
And
in
the
morning
you
wake
up
and
the
signs
point
to
you
They
say,
"I′m
so
glad
that
you
finally
made
it
here
You
thought
nobody
cared
but
I
did,
I
could
tell
And
this
is
your
year
and
it
always
starts
here
And
oh
oh
oh,
you're
aging
well"
Now
I
know
a
woman
with
a
collection
of
sticks
She
could
fight
back
the
hundreds
of
voices
she
heard
She
could
poke
at
the
greed,
she
could
fend
off
her
need
And
in
anger
she
found
she
could
pound
every
word
But
one
voice
got
through
and
caught
her
up
by
surprise
It
said,
"Don′t
hold
us
back,
we're
the
story
you
tell"
No
sooner
than
spoken
the
spell
had
been
broken
And
the
voices
before
her
were
trumpets
and
tympani
Violins,
basses
and
woodwinds
and
cellos
Singing,
"We′re
so
glad
that
you
finally
made
it
here
You
thought
nobody
cared,
but
we
did,
we
could
tell
Now
you'll
dance
through
the
days
while
the
orchestra
plays
And
oh
oh
oh,
you're
aging
well"
Now
when
I
was
fifteen,
no
I
knew
it
was
over
The
road
to
enchantment
was
not
mine
to
take
′Cause
lower
calf,
upper
arm
should
be
half
what
they
are
I
was
breaking
the
laws
that
the
signmakers
made
And
all
I
could
eat
was
the
poisonous
apple
And
that′s
not
a
story
I
was
meant
to
survive
An'
I
was
all
out
of
choices
but
the
woman
of
voices
She
turned
′round
the
corner
with
music
around
her
She
gave
me
the
language
that
keeps
me
alive
She
said,
"I'm
so
glad
that
you
finally
made
it
here
With
the
things
you
know
now,
that
only
time
could
tell
Looking
back,
seeing
far,
landing
right
where
we
are
And
oh
oh
oh,
you′re
aging,
oh
oh
oh,
and
I
am
aging
Oh
oh
oh,
aren't
we
aging
well?"
