Lyrics

I wrote a letter late last night
Before the break of day
In dead of night where earthbound souls
Just quietly slip away
And when the sun burns bright and clear
I'll sail it endless miles from here
I hope it finds you safe and well
I hope it finds you fine
I wrote it from a time back when I knew you best of all
A giant then of endless strength
Who stood so proud and tall
Now it finds its way to withered hands
Frustration of a mortal man
It's read by eyes so blurred and tired
I hope you'll understand
Old man, are you doing fine?
I want you to know that you've been on my mind
Time stands still for no one
But a part of you is carrying on
Old man, old man
Old man, old man
We didn't do the things we dreamed
But we talked man to man
But I got that yacht we spoke about
And I'm looking into land
And I wish you could have heard the cheers
When we played the show that brought us here
I reckon you'd have been so proud
You'd have shook me by the hand
You'd been the same through all the years
Until this last short time
And now the man I knew so well
Is oh so hard to find
Well, the flame burns shorter every day
And I know I'm gonna be away
When you find the time to take a rest
And let this world pass you by
Old man, are you doing fine?
I want you to know that you've been on my mind
Time stands still for no one
But a part of you is carrying on
Old man, old man
Old man, old man
I'm carrying on
I'm carrying on
I'm carrying on
