the old man

[Verse] Dusty wind blows along the lane Voices hushed echo of the past Broken glass on the dirt stained floor Memories fade but shadows last [Chorus] Old things Like an old man With old eyes old dreams and old hands A rocking chair swaying in the dark Waiting for time to stop a beating heart [Verse 2] Rusty nails in the wooden frame Creaky bones waking with the sun Yesterday's news spread on the porch Life was better when young and bold [Chorus] Old things Like an old man With old eyes old dreams and old hands A rocking chair swaying in the dark Waiting for time to stop a beating heart [Bridge] Ghosts of laughter whispering low Moments scattered like fallen leaves Grains of sand in the hourglass lost History repeats its quiet plea [Verse 3] Lonely clock ticking on the wall Seconds lost to the forgotten sea Hollow echoes of a distant call Souls drift away while we still breathe
