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 |
