The Old Man 歌詞

The tears have all been she'd now

We've said our last goodbyes

His souls been blessed

He's laid to rest

 

Andits now I feel alone

He was moer than just a father

A teacher my best friend

He can still be heard

In the tunes we shared

When we play them on our own

I never will forget him

For he made me what I am

 

Though he may be gone

 

Memories linger on

 

And I miss him the old man

 

As a boy hed take me walking

By mountain field and stream

And he showed me things

Not known to kings

And secret between him and me

Like the colours of the pheasant

As he rises in the dawn

And how to fish and make a wish

Beside the holly tree

 

I thought hed live forever

 

He seemed so big and strong

But the minutes fly

 

And the years roll by

 

For a father and a son

 

And suddenly when it happened

 

There was so much left unsaid

 

No second chance

 

To tell him thanks

 

 

For everything he's done
