[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
