Don't Cry, Old Man |
| Winter’s cold, summer’s hot |
| Love is old, dreams are not |
| Times are hard and so am I |
| Tired heart, too tired to cry |
| Dreams are all I have to give |
| When we die our dreams still live |
| Old man, I’m thirsty still |
| One day I’ll drink my fill |
| Oh, I’ve been away too long |
| I’ve been away too long |
| I don’t remember how it’s done |
| Can I call on you for help |
| Do I have to help myself |
| Are you glad with what you’ve got |
| Are you burning, are you hot |
| When we’re old, like as not |
| We will burn until we rot |
| Don’t weep old man, don’t weep don’t cry |
| I knew you when |
| I was so much colder then |
| Fathers always build the dreams |
| Children tear apart the seams |
| Old man, I’m thirsting still |
| One day I’ll drink my fill |
| Old man, please don’t die |
| Before our thirst is satisfied |
