John Denver - Old Folks Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • The old folks dont talk much
  • They talk so slowly when they do
  • They are rich they are poor
  • Their illusions are gone
  • They share one heart for to
  • Their homes all smell of tyme
  • Of old photographs
  • And an old fashioned song
  • Though you may live in town
  • You live so far away
  • When youve lived to long
  • Have they laughed to much
  • Do their dry voices crack
  • Talking of things gone by
  • Have they cried to much
  • A tear or two still always seems
  • To cloud the eye
  • They tremble as they watch the old silver clock
  • When day is through
  • Tick tock oh so slow
  • It says yes it says no
  • It says I wait for you
  • The old folks dream no more
  • Their books have gone to sleep
  • The pianos out of tune
  • The little cat is dead
  • And no more do they sing on a sunday afternoon
  • The old folks move no more
  • Their world become to small
  • Their bodies feel like lead
  • They might look out a window
  • Or else sit it a chair
  • Or else they stay in bed
  • And if they still go out
  • Arm and arm, arm and arm
  • In the mornings chill
  • Its to have a good cry
  • To say their last goodbye
  • To one whose older still
  • And then they go home
  • To the old silver clock
  • When day is through
  • Tick tock so so slow
  • It says yes it says no
  • It says I wait for you
  • The old folks never die
  • They just put down their heads
  • And go to sleep one day
  • They will hold each others hands
  • Like children in the dark
  • But one will get lost anyway
  • And the other will remain
  • Just sitting in a room
  • Which makes no sound
  • It doesnt matter now
  • The song has died away
  • And echos all around
  • Youll see them as they walk
  • Through the sun filled parks
  • Where children run and play
  • It hurst to much to smile
  • It hurts so much
  • But life goes on for still another day
  • As they try to escape the old silver clock
  • When day is through
  • Tick tock oh so slow
  • It says yes it says no
  • It says I wait for you
  • The old old silver clock
  • Thats hanging on the wall
  • That waits for us all
