The Past is an Old Man's country
landscaped by memories and dreams
hopes and fears now bordered
by children's laughter and screams
The Past is an Old Man's country
memories and dreams entwined
hopes and fears portraited
left hanging in memory's mind
The Past is an Old Man's country
the highways clear in sight
the byways weave through fog and mist
dimly distant through fading light
The Past is an Old Man's Country
but it won’t be visited by me:
Release me at the turnpike!
release me and set me free
