Chantal Kreviazuk - Ken's Song

Album:

I hadn't seen the boy in fifteen years 
He had lines that said he cried a rainbow of tears 
He left one day before his late night drives 
He said everybody's gotta make a sacrifice 
So he replaced the old girl for a boat named Jen 
He thought if anyone could love her 
Well he was the man 

He said my only fear is growing old alone 
I've gotta get a lover for this telephone 
It doesn't matter if my number's gone when I'm young 
But I don't want to grow old alone 

Till the day Jen sunk she gave him love so true 
She was appraised at fifty-one grand or two 
It didn't matter that she took every dime that he had 
He had to get off the water and live by the land 

He said my only fear is growing old alone
I've gotta get a lover for this telephone
It doesn't matter if my number's gone when I'm young
But I don't want to grow old alone

When I spoke about Jen a tear flowed from his eye 
It was the first and last time I saw a grown man cry 
He said believe it or not I'm not scared to die 
But I don't want to grow old alone 

He said my only fear is growing old alone
I've gotta get a lover for this telephone
It doesn't matter if my number's gone when I'm young
But I don't want to grow old alone
