Pay No Mind - Eddi Reader

Pay no mind to the passing years

Pay no mind to the takers

For they will grace you with a thousand kisses

And nothing will they savour

Take my word and pay no mind

They will lead you nowhere

Waste your time, then break your heart

Hate you without reason

Hold my hand and face their eyes

The words will cut and wound you

But stand up straight and shut your mouth

Forgive them if they ask it

And I will lead you home

Pay no mind to the passing years

Pay no mind to the takers

For they will grace you with a thousand kisses

But none of them they’ll savour

Take my word and pay no mind

They will lead you nowhere

Waste your time and break your heart

And hate you without reason

And I will lead you home

Yes I will lead you home
