Time Enough For Rocking When We're Old

The Magnetic Fields · 69 Love Songs Pt. 2 [1999]

There'll be time enough for rocking when we're old

We can rock all day in rocking chairs of gold

But tonight I think I'd rather just go dancing

There'll be time enough for rocking when we're old, my love



There'll be time enough for talk in the nursing home

Darling, time enough to write an epic poem

But tonight I think I'd rather just go dancing

There'll be time enough for talking in the home, my love



There'll be time enough for sleeping when we're dead

You will have a velvet pillow for your head

But tonight I think I'd rather just go dancing

There'll be time enough for sleeping when we're dead, my love



There'll be time enough for sex and drugs in Heaven

When our pheromones are turned up to 11

But tonight I think I'd rather just go dancing

There'll be time enough for sex and drugs in Heaven, my love

And time enough for rocking when we're old.
