lyrics

PARK BENCH

OLD MAN
HIS LOIS DIED YEARS AGO
AH THE OLD MAN
HE LOVED HER SO

OLD MAN
WE SOMETIMES HAVE TO SHOW HIM
WHERE TO GO
AND THE PARK BENCH ISN’T SMILING IN THE SNOW

OLD MAN
HE’S LIVING OFF SOCIAL SECURITY
AND THE PRESIDENT WAVES
FROM HIS TV

OLD MAN
I SOMETIMES TAKE HIM WHERE HE NEEDS TO BE
WITH LOIS GAZING DOWN TENDERLY

I CAN’T TELL THE OLD MAN ANYTHING
I’VE ONLY LIVED A FRACTION OF HIS PAIN
I CAN’T TELL THE OLD MAN NOT TO DRINK
HE DOESN’T WANT TO THINK
ABOUT BEING A SAD OLD MAN

OLD MAN
ALL THE WORK HE DID WHEN HIS MIND WAS SOUND
NOW HIS IMAGES LAY SHATTERED
ON THE GROUND

OLD MAN
THEY TOOK AWAY HIS LICENSE WHEN HE WAS 81
BUT THEY LEFT HIM WITH HIS HUNTING GUN

I CAN’T TELL THE OLD MAN ANYTHING
I’VE ONLY LIVED A FRACTION OF HIS PAIN
I CAN’T TELL THE OLD MAN NOT TO DRINK
HE DOESN’T WANT TO THINK
ABOUT BEING A SAD OLD MAN

OLD MAN
HIS LOIS DIED YEARS AGO
AH THE OLD MAN
HE LOVED HER SO

OLD MAN
WE SOMETIMES HAVE TO SHOW HIM
WHERE TO GO
AND THE PARK BENCH ISN’T SMILING IN THE SNOW
AND THE PARK BENCH ISN’T SMILING IN THE SNOW
AND THE PARK BENCH ISN’T SMILING IN THE SNOW
