Mr Harris lyrics

So he s retired
lives with his sister in a furnished flat
he s got this suit that
he ll never wear outside without a hat
his hair is white but he looks half his age
he looks like Jimmy Stewart in his younger days.
        And honestly, I might be
        stupid to think love is love
        but I do
        and you ve waited so long and
        I ve waited long enough for you.
My mother s calling
from where she s living up in Troy, Vermont
she tries to tell me
a father figure must be what I want
I ve always thought age makes no difference
am I the only one to whom that s making sense?
        And honestly, I might be
        stupid to think love is love
        but I do
        and you ve waited so long and
        I ve waited long enough for you.
The day I met him he was raking leaves
in his tiny yard.
Of course I know that
we ve only got ten years, or twenty, left
but to be honest
I m happy with whatever time we get
depending on which book you read
sometimes it takes a lifetime to get what you need.
        And honestly, I might be
        stupid to think love is love
        but I do
        and you ve waited so long and
        I ve waited long enough for you.
