Old Man Song Songtext / Lyric

Oh, we are fighters in our prime

And as I look to your corner from mine

They say the chasm is black and so terribly wide,

But I believe that's a trick of the eye



And there are mountains in your eyes

I suppose it should be no surprise

The war that you wage against smiling at your age

Is the only thing you said unwise

When you look like you do






Oh, come alive inside this light

Your journey on is my delight

I sense a feeling so strange as I'm watching you change

From a man into a portal knight



So play, old man, won't you play?

I'll sit by your side, if I may

And soak in your soul

While denying it so

Contesting your claim

You're nearly through

I don't believe you

When you can do what you do

I don't believe you

Oh, why don't you just play
