The Little Ones - Waltz Lyrics

Crawl the stairs past the pictures that hung
And a lamp that was lit, on a wall, a quarter past one
Oh, oh, straight to the room where I wanted to lay
Because those were the days of the wine
We're just throwing away

Years go by when you're small
Hours are minutes that beat with your heart
Old mother told you to wait for your turn
Won't you learn?

Leaves for the covers, to offer relief
But the ring of the streets hammer gently
Mocking my sleep

Did you hear the phone ring, mister?
Did you get the diamond ring, sister?
Wo, oh, oh
Wo, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh

Did you find a new place, honey?
When we gonna get the new puppy?
Wo, oh, oh
Wo, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh

Years go by when you're small
Hours are minutes that beat with your heart
Old mother told you to wait for your turn
Won't you learn?

Everybody, any everybody
Everybody, every everybody
Now

Everybody, any everybody
Everybody, every everybody
Now

Did you hear the phone ring, mister?
Did you get the diamond ring, sister?
Now

Did you find a new place, honey?
When we gonna get the new puppy?
Now
