The Old Man |
| The old man sat on the corner |
| He had a magic ring |
| And when the day was on fire |
| He called up serpents and things |
| With his magic ring |
| The serpents flew to the mountain |
| Changed into butterfly trees |
| Took the jewels from the morning dew |
| Took the stars from the sky |
| Put them all together |
| And made a chain around the world |
| Of eyes |
| Around the world |
| Of eyes |
| The road it changed to incense stones |
| All burning in the day |
| When the stones caught fire |
| The children couldn’t stay away |
| They couldn’t stay away |
| The old man’s name was Winters |
| He stopped the children at their play |
| They felt the cold coming |
| And they put their toys away |
| They put their toys away |
| The old man stole all the magic in the street |
| Walked on down the road |
| Walked on by where the children had been |
| They never were children again |
| Never were children again |
