Lyrics
T.o.m. (The Old Man)
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Have you seen the sun?
It still hangs in the sky.
Have you seen the birds?
They still know how to fly.
Have you seen the rivers?
They still float to the rim.
Have you seen the old man?
He knows all about them.
And have you seen the lovers?
They still pray for the dark.
Have you seen the kennels?
They still sleep in the park.
Have you seen the mountains?
They still hug the snow.
And have you seen the old man?
He's ready to go.
And his tongue,
his tounge tastes forever,
and his mind wonders
what forever will bring.
