Paroles de Old Man

Old man please
leave your body 'til your ready for relief
you may have gone away from ordinary words
from all the trees and all the birds
we write our love for you in blood
don't you see
we tell a story with a thorn in every word

Won't you please forgive
We've managed to stop the din before you heard
before you heard

Old man please
everybody's tired of begging on their knees
We lost your loving on the never ending trail
and words transformed along the way
we found ourselves a brighter home
don't you see
we tell a story with a thorn in every word

won't you please forgive?
we've managed to lock them in
we've managed to lock them in before you heard
(x2)
Before you heard
