The Old Hand Lyrics

Old guy

Will you still be here in the spring

Or is that the smile your friends will remember you by

Old man

If I stop to look your hands say more than your eyes

And your eyes they're tired from reading between the lines

Old hand

Now that you've seen it all are you still keeping up with the times

Or are you content letting them pass you by

Life goes by an often times I feel like I'm doing it right

But I'm just waiting for the other shoe to fall

And for it all to tumble down around me

To disprove everything I think I've figure out

And I bet you have a clue what I'm on about

Old flame

Will you ever stop thinking about her

Though your lives parted ways decades ago, the pull of young romance remains

Old pain

For all the mistakes you've made

Tiny or cruel, how is it that you can smile at the end of the day

Old heart

Pounding away through the run around

Filled the brim from the start, still grinning as it all winds down

Life goes by an often times I feel like I'm doing it right

But I'm just waiting for the other shoe to fall

And for it all to tumble down around me

To disprove everything I think I've figure out

And I bet you have a clue what I'm on about
