The Old Man And The Land Lyrics

From Good Homes The Old Man And The Land

there came a time for
the old man
                                                when a place of beauty,
a lay of land
                                                 spoke out to him, said
understand,
                                                      you should rest
now,
                                                       i'm an open hand
                                                      and the man said
yes!
                                                      i'd like the days
here
                                                      i'd like the
nights here
                                                    here I will settle
me down
                                                     i'll spend my days
here
                                                     the rest of my days
here
                                                here I will watch the
world go round
                                                 there came a time for
the old man
                                                when a place of beauty,
a lay of land
                                               spoke out to him like a
long lost friend
                                                 said stay with me now
until the end
                                                       the man said yes!
                                                    I'd like the summers
here
                                                       i'd like the
winters
                                                    here I will settle
me down
                                                     i'll spend my days
here
                                                      rest of my days
here
                                                       here I will watch
                                                      the world go round
                                                       and so they lived
                                                      the man and the
land
                                                       they lived as one
                                                         until the end
                                                      and the man sang
out
                                                      I like the days
here
                                                      I like the nights
here
                                                  oh! how the world
spins around
                                                     I like the summers
here
                                                      I like the winters
here
                                                   here I will sleep in
the ground
                                                   here I will sleep in
the ground
                                                   here I will sleep in
the ground
