Lyrics
Old Man
Lyrics by Paul Dempsey/California
(v1)
Just an old man facing another strange decade
He’s tough but finds he’s a little afraid
Doesn’t see or hear so good, most can tell
And doesn’t take to new things all that well
(v2)
He doesn’t want to feel like he’s caught in between
So he really likes things that become a routine
He has a daughter that keeps digitally up to date
But with nowhere to go; he doesn’t care if he’s late
(chorus)
Time keeps moving on
No negotiations allowed
What’s happening, is happening
And it’s happening right now
The days of his youth are long gone
Coz time just keeps moving on
(v3)
As segments of his past flash across his mind
He loses count of the love ones he’s left behind
The world seems to spin faster with each new day
He finds he’s falling behind, kinda losing his way
(v4)
He still laughs a lot and doesn’t mind living alone
Knows he has an appointment he can’t postpone
And the silence of the mind can sometimes explode
Creating a flood of thoughts, it’s like a fresh reload
(bridge)
The old man keeps breathing and keeps on believing
His days are not full of pity or sorrow
And that appointment he has to keep
He swears every day that it’s not until tomorrow
(chorus)
Time keeps moving on
No negotiations allowed
What’s happening, is happening
And it’s happening right now
The days of his youth are long gone
Coz time just keeps moving on
