Based on a romanian gypsy film that ignited a passion deep in my aging heart

lyrics

OLD MAN
Jim Sharrock

Well I’m just an old, old man
But I still know want and desire
And though my bodies old and the skin hangs from my bones
My blood still runs thick

I’d give the rest of my life
I’d give the rest of my life
I’d give the rest of my life
Just to lie next to my love
For one night

And then in the dark I will whisper my confession
And she will be my high priestess
And she’ll stroke my hair and forgive me
And I will cry my last tear

CHORUS

I’ve lived an honest life, never done much harm
And I know what I like
I’ve lived an honest life, never done much harm
And I know what I like

Well I’m just an old, old man
But I still know want and desire
And though my bodies old and the skin hangs from my bones
My blood still runs thick

CHORUS
