I'm just an old man |
|
How could I understand |
|
I'm just an old man |
|
How could I understand |
|
I remember danger when the strangers came |
|
They, they knew my name |
|
They seemed to know my, my neighbors |
|
So I gave them safety in my home |
|
Then there was a, a pounding sound |
|
And screaming voices all around |
|
I offered them my, my daughters |
|
Then a light, a light came from the, the strangers' skin |
|
They said we had to go away |
|
My wife was worried they, they |
|
I'm just an old man |
|
How could I understand, yes |
|
Fire fell from the sky |
|
And tears fell from my eyes |
|
Fire fell from the sky |
|
Tears fell, fell from my eyes |
|
Turned to stone like a bone |
|
Or maybe salt had hardened on her |
|
I was lonely for my wife, oh |
|
It only ever happened once or twice, yes |
|
I'm just an old man |
|
How could I understand, yes |
|
I'm just an old man |
|
Who just can't stand his memories |
