Hi Everyone,
Here is a rather sad song - it is based on a true story I read of in the papers.

The words are:


OLD MAN

Old man on the road
Felt good on the day
He talked to himself
And strode on his way

He liked to look down
From where he had been
And make up stories
Of what he had seen

Alone with his stick
To aid his weak leg
He kicked the odd stone
And thought of his Meg

She had lied to him
The night she lay dead
I have no pain now
Is what she had said

She then rested down
But didn’t say goodnight
Her hair became wet
Her face became white

No more did she breath
She had lied that night
No honest farewell
It did not seem right

He left the body
Remembered her face
It was his turn now
To end it with grace

He slowly walked on
Wished she had not lied
Imagined Meg felt
His love when she died

Silence all around
He laid down his stick
Took all the tablets
Dared not to be sick

Whispered his goodbyes
Thought he should have stayed
How could he leave her
Felt cold, felt afraid

Old man on the road
Felt good on the day
He talked to himself
And strode on his way

His hair became wet
His face became white
His eyes remained closed
He died in the night

Maybe this will not be so popular but I like the song anyway.
Comments appreciated
