[Verse 1]
The old man's sitting there
His head bowed down
Every now and then he'll take a look around
And his eyes reflect the memory-pain of years gone by
He can't regain nostalgic dreams
He'll never see again
[Verse 2]
With trembling hands
He wipes a tear
Many fall like rain, there's one for every year
And his life laid out so clearly now, life that's brought death
So nearly now life once he clung to dearly
Now lets go
[Bridge]
But spare a thought as you pass him by
Take a closer look and you'll say
He's our tomorrow
Just as much as we are his yesterday
[Verse 3]
A lonely grave
And soon forgot
Only wind and leaves lament his mournful song
Yet they shout his epitaph out clear for anyone
Who's passing near
It names the person lying here as you
[Outro]
And you, and you
And you
