song i wrote in like five minutes with my BRAND NEW GUITAR!!!! I'm not sure entirely what its about, as i didn't think about it lyrically or anything for too long. The juxtaposition between childhood and elderly life i would guess.
there was an old man
who lived on my street
he'd sit and garden
and watch us play
he had a sunhat
and a t shirt
he had the time
to stay all day
he had a wife
so beautiful
and a dog
some loving kids
he had a job
at the old mill
he had a last name
we don't know it
and when they found him
he was dead they say
his hands were soft
just like a child's
they turned him over
and he looked alive
his eyes were kind
and he smiled
Chorus
and we will run until they bury him
and we will run until the funeral
just cause we can
