Ain't Got Much Growing Up Left To Do

from Breaking Cover by Ray Zimmerman

about

I guess this one is for anyone who's been on the rollercoaster of seeing someone you love grow up. This was also the first track I wrote that made me think 'hey I want to write an album' so it's got an extra special place in my heart.

lyrics

Have you seen my girl walking down these roads,
She'll look like she's many miles from home,
She lifted stones that were better left unturned,
She's still got a few things left to learn,

Have you seen my girl walking down these streets,
With desolation in her eyes and blisters on her feet,
So if you pass her and by chance you speak,
Please pass her on a few of these lines from me,

Girl I know that you ain't got much of this growing up left to do,
And I swear that I will let you go but I'll keep watch over you,
And you'll move through life like a hurricane,
You just keep blowing through,
Cos you ain't got much of this growing up left to do,

And I remember when she barely reached my shoulder,
I wish back then that I could have told her,
Girl in this life you'll see fire and rain,
Conductor of your own derailing train,

And have you seen my girl walking round these parts,
With pink bow ribbons in her hair and iced fingers on her heart,
So if you see her running through the trees,
Please pass her on these lines I have decreed,

Girl I know that you ain't got much of this growing up left to do,
And I swear that I will let you go but I'll keep watch over you,
And you'll ignite like a fire girl,
And I see you're burning blue,
Cos you ain't got much of this growing up left to do,

I heard she sometimes passes through this place,
With poise and form and beauty and with grace,
I heard she dances and sometimes she sings,
That she found a man and now she wears a ring,

And I hope that she remembers what I said,
Girl if you ever need a place to come and rest your weary head,
Don't look to me when you are all alone,
You're stronger now, you'll make it on your own,

Girl I know that you ain't got much of this growing up left to do,
And I'll cry as I watch you go but I won't watch over you,
And like the Autumn leaves you'll blow away from me,
And that's exactly what you should do,
Cos you ain't got no more growing up left to do,

And like the falling snow you'll leave before you go,
Something as beautiful as you,
Cos you ain't got no more growing up left to do
