lyrics

v1
I saw the old man
Staring back at me today
Eyes sunken and careworn
Cloaked in a mantle of gray

I saw the old man
Staring back at me today
Tired eyes above dark pools
Lips silent nothing to say

Who is the old man?
Weary old man
Fearful old man
How do I know him….

Chorus
Who is the old man
Dogs my steps and haunts my dreams
A ghost of recognition
Pulling at my memory’s seams

Who is the old man
Like a mirror in a frame
Suddenly I know him
The old man goes by my name

V2
An aged man is a paltry thing
Unless the soul clap hands and sing
For every tatter in this mortal dress
Take stock and confess

O sages standing in the holy fire
Consume my heart sick with desire
Fastened to a dying beast
Let me taste of glory at least

Sail me away
Sail me away
Let me ever stay
