Description

Asaf Avidan (Hebrew: אסף אבידן‎; born March 23, 1980) is an Israeli singer-songwriter and musician. He is also the creative force and front-man of Asaf Avidan & the Mojos, an Israeli folk rock band that he established in 2006 in Jerusalem. The band released three albums, The Reckoning in 2008, Poor Boy / Lucky Man in 2009 and Through the Gale in 2010.

Avidan was born in Jerusalem. His parents were diplomats for the Israeli Foreign Office, and he spent four years of his childhood in Jamaica.

After the mandatory army service in Israel, Avidan studied animation at Jerusalem’s Bezalel Academy of Arts & Design. His final project short film, “Find Love Now”, won its category at the Haifa Film Festival that year.

After his studies, Avidan moved to Tel Aviv and worked as an animator, until a breakup with his long-time girlfriend shook his world and made him move back to Jerusalem, quit his job and turn full-time to his up-till-then hobby – music.

No more tears, my heart is dry
I don't laugh and I don't cry
I don't think about you all the time
But when I do, I wonder why

You had to go out of my door
And leave just like you did before
I know I said that I was sure
But rich men can't imagine poor

One day baby, we'll be old, oh baby, we'll be old
And think about the stories that we could have told

So, one day baby, we'll be old
Oh baby, we'll be old
And think about the stories
That we could have told

Little me and little you
Kept doing all the things they do
They never really think it through
Like I can never think you're true

Here I go again
The blame, the guilt, the pain, the hurt, the shame
The founding fathers of our plane
That's stuck in heavy clouds of rain

One day baby, we'll be old, oh baby, we'll be old
And think about the stories that we could have told

One day baby, we'll be old, oh baby, we'll be old
And think about the stories
That we could have told

I'll say it, one day baby, we'll be old
Oh baby, we'll be old
And think about the stories
That we could have told

I'll say it, one day baby, we'll be old
Oh baby, we'll be old, oh baby, we'll be old
Sure baby, we'll be old, oh baby, we'll be old
Sure baby, we'll be old, sure baby, we'll be old
Baby we'll be old, baby little baby
Little little ba a a a...sure baby
But little baby, baby, baby

One day baby, we'll be old, oh baby, we'll be old
Think about the stories that we could have told
