Around The Plynth

AROUND THE PLYNTH
(Rod Stewart, Ron Wood)

Woken up on mornings
such as this
and thought exactly the same
as I'm thinking now.
Every night for a year
I've slept alone.
Cold damp room looks worse
than me, no no no

Got a fear of death
that creeps on every night.
I know I won't die soon,
but then again I might,
Water down the drain,
I'm wasting away.
And doctors can't help me
a ghost of a man that's me, no no

Water down the drain
goes to the sea,
the pattern of my life
keeps a-haunting me.
Moisture from the ocean
fills the sky,
come on down to the ground
as the time goes by, no no no no no

Slow down there

I never found out the reason why
why my parents had to lie
about the place
that I was born
and from my hometown
I was torn
at the tender age of four
I was livin' by a homemade law

I never knew when it was to be laid
My desires are never displayed
I never knew what it was to be loved
I never knew what it was to be laid
I never knew what it was to win
I never knew what it was to be loved, nonono

Ah, get on up there
I never knew what it was to be loved

Nonononono
Slow down there
