Les paroles de la chanson
« Settle down »
Some Velvet Morning

I think I’ll settle down
I’m getting tired of all this running ’round.
My body says it time
It’s time I find myself a quiet life.

But I step outside like a newborn child, & I wanna play.
Oh I’ve tried to be good and I wish that I could.
But sometimes it don’t work that way.

All I keep thinking about is ‘what I’ll be missing’
I turn around when I hear a new sound, I can’t Settle Down.

It’s time to take account
Assess my assets, maybe go without.
Tighten up the strings.
Look for pleasure in the simple things.

So I close my eyes but it gets inside, no matter what I do.
Oh your touch feels right but please don’t tell my wife
Lets keep this just between me & you.

All I keep thinking about is ‘what I’ll be missing’
I turn around when I hear a new sound, I can’t Settle Down.

I’ve pissed my time against a wall & look at me now.
What have I got, nothing at all
Just memories and please don’t those from me.

All I keep thinking about is ‘what I’ll be missing’
I turn around when I hear a new sound, I can’t Settle Down.
