Paul Kelly - Before the Old Man Died Lyrics lyrics

rate me

I used to walk in shadows

I stayed out of the sun

I used to sort information

and I used to pass it on

Before the old man died

Before we came alive

Before the old man died

I used to follow orders

Did my duty like a son

But I fell in love with whispers

And I turned them into songs

Before the old man died

Before we came alive

Before the old man died

For the way he ruined our mother

Not enough blood can run

We had plans me and my brother

Every day I cleaned my gun

Before the old man died

Before we came alive

Before the old man died

Before we came alive
