Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Verse 3] 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? [Verse 4] Are you glad with what you've got? Are you burning, are you hot? When we're old, like as not We will burn until we rot [Verse 5] Don't weep, old man, don't weep, don't cry I knew you when I was so much coldеr then Fathers always build the drеams Children tear apart the seams [Verse 6] Old man, I'm thirsting still One day I'll drink my fill Old man, please don't die Before our thirst is satisfied
