Lyrics for Old Folks by JOHN DENVER:
| | | Artist: | JOHN DENVER |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | Old Folks | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 235 | | | | Lyrics: | The old folks don't talk much
They talk so slowly when they do
They are rich they are
poor
Their illusions are gone
They share one heart for two
Their homes all smell of
time
Of old photographs
And an old fashioned song
Though you may live in town
You
live so far away
When you've lived too long
Have they laughed too much
Do their dry
voices crack
Talking of things gone by
Have they cried too much
A tear or two still
always seems
To cloud the eye
They tremble as they watch the old silver clock
When
day is through
Tick tock oh so slow
It says yes it says no
It says I wait for
you
The old folks dream no more
Their books have gone to sleep
The piano's out of
tune
The little cat is dead
And no more do they sing on a sunday afternoon
The old
folks move no more
Their world become to small
Their bodies feel like lead
They might
look out a window
Or else sit it a chair
Or else they stay in bed
And if they still
go out
Arm in arm, arm in arm
In the morning chill
Its to have a good cry
To say
their last goodbye
To one who's older still
And then they go home
To the old silver
clock
When day is through
Tick tock so so slow
It says yes it says no
It says I wait
for you
The old folks never die
They just put down their heads
And go to sleep one
day
They will hold each others hands
Like children in the dark
But one will get lost
anyway
And the other will remain
Just sitting in a room
Which makes no sound
It
doesn't matter now
The song has died away
And echo's all around
You'll see them as
they walk
Through the s | | | |
