lyrics

When I was a young boy, I fought my demons through
When I was a young boy, I tried to speak the truth
When I was a young boy, I fell in love with you

And it would ease my pain
If I had done the right thing
When I was a young boy

When I was a young man, I found myself a job
When I was a young man, I worked just like a dog
When I was a young man, I thought I could write my own song

But I knew these things
Wouldn’t rule my mind
If you were by my side
When I was a young man

When I was a grown man, I had a family
When I was a grown man, I loved them patiently
When I was a grown man, I grew up like a tree

I tried to be Big and strong and
Shield them from my silent wrongs
When I was a grown man

Now I am an old man, and all I loved is gone,
Now I am an old man, keep sole company with my wrongs
Now I am an old man, who still dreams of you in my arms,

And I will spend out my days thinking of ways
To get back to you,
I won’t rest ‘til I find that peace in my mind
That only comes from a piece of you,
And I would be absolved of all my careless thoughts
And the wisdom I did not possess
If you would come and say goodbye to this old man.
