The Magnetic Fields - When You're Old and Lonely lyrics

When you're old and lonely

You will wish you'd married me

I could build a fire for you

And bring you cakes and tea

When you're cold and hungry

I'll be waiting by the phone

You can call me up and

Tell me how you're all alone...

All alone...

When you're old and lonely

And the rush of life is past

Days go by too slowly and

The years go by too fast

When your golden loneliness is

Heavier than stone

You can call me up and say

"My God, I'm all alone...

All alone..."
