The Old Man's Tale

People say that I've grown cold I became bitter old and bold But this ain't how it was meant to be I walked in circles for a life Wasted patience with wasted time One day I woke up and I wasn't free anymore I kept my head above the clouds When It was always raining I sang my heart out to the crowds But they were only waiting For a chance to knock me down In those days when I was blue I'd gamble my life to be with you You were one to make me bleed I picked you up when you were down You made me promise to stick around When it wasn't something that I could keep Oh my love I kept my head above the clouds When It was always raining I sang my heart out to the crowds But they were only waiting Sometimes a man does his best but it ain't enough Sometimes the years that you fight just burn to dust But if you try your best and you don't succeed At least you'll know it in your heart that you went out with belief I kept my head above the clouds When It was always raining I sang my heart out to the crowds They were only waiting For a chance to knock me down
