"From The Rooftops" lyrics
The Cast of The Unlikely Pilgrimage Of Harold Fry & Passenger Lyrics
(from "The Unlikely Pilgrimage Of Harold Fry" soundtrack)
You see I come to this town every Thursday
To meet a young man for a touch of role play
And I pay him very well but it's hard for me to tell him
Everything I feel...
— Can I go on?
— By all means
You see me do things people frown upon
Things I've never told anyone
But I never expected to feel quite so connected
Or find something so real
— More tea cake?
— If you don't mind
Now I find myself falling in love
And I don't know if I should say
How I feel or should hide it all away
See I don't want to scare him
But nor do I really want to share him
You see, I long to be free
Just to shout it from the rooftops, but I don't think I can
As a silver-haired gentleman
Though I'm sure this sounds strange to you
Sometimes I like to lick his shoes
It's just one of the things we do
That I may as well reveal
Oh, and I would like to show him that I care
By buying him a brand new pair
But I'm not sure how that would fare
How it would make him feel
Now I see you sitting here
A friendly face, a stranger's ear
I have the courage to tell you
That I fear making the wrong decision
— I'm sorry, I should go
— YOLO
— I beg your pardon?
— You only live once, buy him the shoes, tell him you love him. Because I had the chance once, and I blew it
— You're right, what am I waiting for?
I'm gonna shout it from the rooftops
And not give a damn
As a silver-haired gentleman
This feeling's growing like chain reaction
I don't want us to be a transaction
I'm gonna show him just how I feel
I'll be the man I am and not just kick the can
Down the road, no delay or distraction
No more talk, I know it's time for action
Gonna sing it loud, from the rooftops now
As a gray and proud silver-haired gentleman
To meet a young man for a touch of role play
And I pay him very well but it's hard for me to tell him
Everything I feel...
— Can I go on?
— By all means
You see me do things people frown upon
Things I've never told anyone
But I never expected to feel quite so connected
Or find something so real
— More tea cake?
— If you don't mind
Now I find myself falling in love
And I don't know if I should say
How I feel or should hide it all away
See I don't want to scare him
But nor do I really want to share him
You see, I long to be free
Just to shout it from the rooftops, but I don't think I can
As a silver-haired gentleman
Though I'm sure this sounds strange to you
Sometimes I like to lick his shoes
It's just one of the things we do
That I may as well reveal
Oh, and I would like to show him that I care
By buying him a brand new pair
But I'm not sure how that would fare
How it would make him feel
Now I see you sitting here
A friendly face, a stranger's ear
