The Lucksmiths - Scottsdale lyrics

I walk right past his window when the light is growing dim He looks away from me and as I glance in at him He owns one bed, one bookcase and the television He sits and watches and I'm glad I'm not there with him There was a time when he was young There was a time when he had no time to regret what he'd done There are six men on the ground floor Three stories up and there are sixteen more And the stories they tell you think you've heard before But listen closely, to be sure There was a time when they were young There was a time when they had no time to regret what they'd done I see him on the street in the cold He nods as if to greet me, I feel too young, and he too old He is a nameless face to me This is his hiding place I see He talks to himself, I can see his breath Sixteen rooms, sixteen men off the meth There was a time when they were young There was a time when they had no time to regret what they'd done
