Album | The Forever Changes Concert |
Verse 1: | |
I once knew a man | |
Been everywhere in the world | |
Gave me a tiny ivory ball | |
Said it would bring me good | |
Never believed it would until | |
I have been loving you | |
Verse 2: | |
Dear old man | |
He'd seen most everything | |
Gave me a piece of good advice | |
Said it would do me well | |
I couldn't really tell until | |
I have been loving you | |
Bridge: | |
Now it seems | |
Things are not so strange | |
I can see more clearly | |
Suddenly i've found my way | |
I know the old man would laugh | |
He spoke of love's sweeter days | |
And in his eloquent way | |
I think he was speaking of you | |
You are so lovely | |
You didn't have to say a thing | |
Verse 3: | |
But i remember that old man | |
Telling me he'd seen the light | |
Gave me a small brown leather book | |
Insisted that he was right | |
I only heard him slightly | |
'til i heard you whisper | |
Took you up all in my arms | |
Coda: | |
Dear old man | |
Wise old man | |
Fine old man, now |
