lyrics

Old man fear is ten feet tall
Thinks he’s small
Thin as all.
Old man fear is ten feet tall
Foil wraps his head
Filled with thoughts of dread.

Lady sorrow dressed in black
She looks back
Down the track.
Lady sorrow dressed in black
Sunlight she sees not
Only baggage brought.

Young man haste has no time
In his prime
Spare no dime.
Young man haste has no time
No concern or care
Off to who knows where.

Down, down, down
Comrades take me down.
Down, down, down
Purge me of the past
Phoenix rising fast.

Mother worry wrings her hands
Doorway stands
Cropland scans.
Mother worry wrings her hands.
Mouth drawn thin and tight.
Knuckles hard and white.

Daughter anger makes a scene
She’s 15, mouth obscene.
Daughter anger makes a scene.
Pushes love away
Welcomes foe and fray.

Thought we’d break
Those that we weren’t.
Might forget memories that made us and
Perhaps become
Too perfect to be loved.
Time marches on and old clothes must be traded.

Old man fear is ten feet tall
Thinks he’s small
Thin as all.
Old man fear is ten feet tall
Foil wraps his head
Filled with thoughts of dread.
