Could Be Forever

Hold the elevator for the older I live three floors up, he's one over First order of business How's the knees, sir, how the missus Hard on the bends, my lad, but they still go the distance Nobody tells you true love comes with a cost My darling has the wanderlust Itchy feet but her head's gone soft Goes for a little wander gets lost Phone on standby But will she remember to call She saw our eldest daughter Her face she couldn't recall The leaves fell harder that autumn But Every so often, she returns Her face alight with a smile She takes my hand, says I might be gone for a while When will you go, I ask her, when will you come back Any moment now She takes my hands she holds them warm Maybe Tomorrow She pulls me in and holds me close Could be forever, yeah How long we stay like that, who knows Could be forever, yeah How long we stay like that, who knows Always show love to the elders Whether they're your Parents, aunts or toilet attendants Last one in particular We met some-time one cold december At hootenanny's corner where he laid out his wares Colognes, chopachups and trojans if you dare He's from in my hometown, Benin City And over there, my man's a dentist Here in london Got no papers to make real paper And ends need meeting Every hour I give some cheer All I get cold pity, sneers and jeers But that's ok, cuz in my mind, sky's all clear I'm holding hands with all my daughters New school uniform looking gorgeous Some drunken random asks when are you going back My eldest asks when I'm coming home? Any moment now Maybe Tomorrow Could be forever, yeah Could be forever, yeah
