Don't Cry, Old Man

Winter's cold, summer's hot.
Love is old, dreams are not.
Times are hard and so am I.
Tired heart, too tired to cry.

Dreams are all I have to give.
When we die our dreams still live.
Old man, I'm thirsty still,
One day I'll drink my fill.

Oh, I've been away too long.
I've been away too long.
I don't remember how it's done.
Can I call on you for help?
Do I have to help myself?

Are you glad with what you've got?
Are you burning, are you hot?
When we're old, like as not,
[Más Letras en http://es.mp3lyrics.org/CPpw]
We will burn until we rot.

Don't weep old man, don't weep, don't cry.
I knew you when
I was so much colder then.
Fathers always build the dreams
Children tear apart the seams.

Old man, I'm thirsting still,
One day I'll drink my fill.
Old man, please don't die,
Before our thirst is satisfied.

[Humming.]
