The Old Man Stranger
By Danw
Strangest names in the strangest places Confused looks on the simplest faces I had to ask them, I just had to know Where is this place that you have to go? His answer was the strangest thing A guitar man would ever sing This is what he said My back is broken, but my spine is strong Now I’ve spoken I must sing my song Take back your money, I don’t need it any way I sit here streets just praying everyday That my time will come, next time be the one Yes, I’ll be the one I returned to that place it must have been a thousand years All the people were different and they didn’t want to hear So they took my story, sold for glory in the only way they Pawned my wisdom for glory Just like the old man had foretold, He was the one Angels, fallen Angels falling He was the one Truly I’ve been thunderstruck today The old man once spoke to me now he’s me Lost my youth and I can’t find it today Somebody took it and they hid it away Written March 19th, 2001 © on Feb 27 2002 05:20 AM PST 10 • 0
