Lee Hazlewood
T.O.M. (The Old Man)
[Verse:]
Have you seen the sun?
It still hangs in the sky
Have you seen the birds?
They still know how to fly
Have you seen the rivers?
They still float to the rim
Have you seen the old man?
He knows all about them
And have you seen the lovers?
They still pray for the dark
Have you seen the kennels?
They still sleep in the park
Have you seen the mountains?
They still hug the snow
And have you seen the old man?
He's ready to go
And his tongue
His tounge tastes forever
And his mind wonders
What forever will bring
