Текст песни «Ten Foot Pole - 'Old Man'»

You tell me of a place/Where everybody knew their neighbors/All the families
helped eachother/And no one ever locked their doors/You tell me no one locked
their doors/Old man please stay a while/I know at first I seemed to busy/But
now I'll make the time/Stay and tell me one more story/Tell me about the time/
You ditched school to go fishing/You thought the branch would hold/Your neigh-
bour pulled you from the river/He helped you wash your clothes and/Stitch the
hole in your trousers and/Your mom never knew/Why he giggled when he saw you/
A place where no one locks their doors/A place where no one locks their doors/
You tell me that you would show me/Only now it is too late/I would like to
build community/Only now it is too late/Things can never be the way they were
before/You can't go back to how things were before/Once the trust is gone/Once
the trust is gone/Once the trust os gone you'll lock the door/I can imagine
that life/But it seems so far from real/It's just ike a story that's the kind
of life/I've never known/Old man you're leaving now/Taking with you the things
/I wonder where you're going/And if it would be like you're own home/ I hope
you find the place you're looking for
