Old Man

Late one night under southern skies

A son is born with his father's eyes

Rising up through the flames

He learned the lessons of love and pain

Seasons change

The soul still remains

Old man

Take your time

You keep pushing 'till the end of the line

Old man

Taught me well

Left his son with a story to tell

Morning light, sister cries

They make their peace as they say goodbye

Father, son, now a man

Reaches down to take his young boy's hand

Seems so strange

We must turn the page

Seasons change

There's no one to blame

Old man

Take your time

You keep pushing 'till the end of the line

Old man

Taught me well

Left his son with a story to tell

Old man

Take your time

You keep pushing 'till the day you die

Old man

Take your time

You keep pushing 'till the end of the line

Old man

Taught me well

Left his son with a story to tell

Old man

We must carry on, man

The old days are gone, man

Your spirit lives on, man

But you left us all with a story to tell
