Lyrics

[00:08.29] This lonely old man had heart, resting
[00:12.84] Gray hairs on wrinkled arms
[00:16.85] with nothing but a stool to hold up his back
[00:21.65]
[00:22.59] Skinny legs with Japanese mileage
[00:27.02]
[00:27.90] Crossed at the ankles
[00:30.20]
[00:32.02] He's unaware
[00:33.44]
[00:36.14] Maybe you've never seen it
[00:37.87]
[00:38.95] Maybe you've never been through it
[00:41.18]
[00:43.12] It's the only way to understand it
[00:49.58]
[00:52.26] Unaware of his surroundings
[00:59.03]
[01:00.03] Youth, it passed
[01:01.71]
[01:02.83] Swarming like wolves to a fresh kill,
[01:07.29]
[01:08.03] the scent attracts
[01:09.60]
[01:10.53] He's just scared about dying
[01:17.09]
[01:20.13] Maybe you've never seen it
[01:23.45]
[01:24.26] Maybe you've never been through it
[01:26.63]
[01:28.57] It's the only way to understand him
[01:35.98] Save your clever statements
[01:37.05]
[01:38.24] Brave your severed view of it
[01:40.73]
[01:42.34] It's the only way to understand it
[01:48.42]
[01:54.85] To believe that...
[01:56.03]
[01:58.27] to think back...
[02:00.71]
[02:01.34] to realize that
[02:03.65]
[02:04.15] no sad days have come to an end
[02:10.05] where all...
[02:11.74]
[02:13.42] where all has been lost
[02:18.35]
[02:34.64] Maybe you've never seen it
[02:37.13]
[02:37.94] Maybe you've never been through it
[02:40.00]
[02:41.56] It's the only way to understand it
[02:48.24] Save your clever statements
[02:50.92]
[02:51.72] Brave yourself if you want in
[02:54.11]
[02:55.48] It's the only way to understand it
