Old
Man in The Sun
When I’m an old man in the sun
Get my guitar and maybe strum
The notes I can remember from summer’s
song
When you were
my love and the days were sunny and long
I’ll sing to myself like I’ve always done
Old folk songs just
for fun
Not really
playing for anyone
But
then I’ll sing of love,
and know that you were the one
Time has a trick or two in
its tail
You get
things right, but then again you fail
Love is not Time’s fool, the poet says
Though all our days are not in the sun,
They are all our days
When
I’m an old man in the sun
Gets my guitar and maybe strum
The notes I can remember from summer’s song
But the summer that warms my heart will be long long gone
Look out to windward,
see
how the world turned
How
it turned from you and me.
For all of our drifting, we were not carefree
Ours were the troubled wintry seas
Old man in the sun
Get my guitar and maybe strum
The notes I can remember from summer’s
song
For while you
are my love, the days are sunny and long
Yes while you are my love,
the days are sunny and long
