The Old Man!
The old man left our house, took my car and drove away,
I was twenty one, I remember to this day,
There was no goodbye, there was no adieu, there was never,
we'll never see you, again,
And life went on, with someone gone, like a distant song, someone
sung, but the "old man" was really young,
Who I thought was old, was 53, nearly ten years younger than me,
today!
I feel his spirit nearly every day, he helps me, shows me, leads me
on my way.
He does!
