Paroles

I remember this old man
And the wisdom that he shared with me
Upon his knee
I'd listen
I remember words he spoke
And the look behind his quiet eyes
In silent bliss
Life gives little lessons
He spun tales of worlds unseen
How he'd sacrificed his youthful dreams
He lived his life again
Just for me
He raised the children to be strong
They flew into the city lights
Such busy lives
He wished they'd visit home
I will remember
The words of this old man
Until my dying day
It took his death to bring them home
To the empty rooms where they had grown
Where he died alone
And they buried him next to his bride
I held her hand as my mother cried
Just a child of five
Now, I understand
Now, I understand the words
Of this old man
