lyrics

We save and we save
Till we're old and we're grey
Never spend a penny
I lost you that way

But of all of the riches
Of all that I have
There ain't no fortune
Will make you love me again

Dumb as a mule
Blind as a bat
Thick as an ox
And mean as a cat

The red of a rose
And thicker than honey
I don't want no more
of this blood money

What's with getting older
What's with losing our head
What's with all of these riches
Making the rounds again

Why must it be so hard
Why can't I be more like them
I never wanted these riches
Just someone to love instead

Stubborn as a mule
Sick as a dog
Loyal as a ferret
And smart as a hog

The red of a rose
And thicker than honey
I don't want no more
Of this blood money

Ain't no one to tell you
What to spend your fortunes on
No cancellations
On love's subscription
To know the difference
Between right and wrong
I guess its true what they say
That love fades away
Please not for us
No, no, no..

When we're older
And our days are few
I hope that I can say
That I learned a thing from you
Spent all that I earned
Spent it on the ones that I loved
And then when I go
I'll be smiling from above

Free as a bird
New as a lamb
Happy as a puppy
And proud as a man
The red of a rose
And thicker than honey
I'll have no more of this blood money
