[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
The old man knows very well
Goin' down 'round the snowbank, there's a mound
A mound that an old man knows good
Look who raises his shoe all over this mound
Right over the world in another rewind
[Chorus]
And it's time, time, time for the last rewind
For a broken old man and a world unkind
He buried all his memories of home
In an icy clump that lies beneath the ground
[Verse 2]
No one knows how far he traveled
Oh, I heard he walked miles from the little mound
Can he find some shelter?
He doesn't know to behold what the cold frost can do
At the last hill he realized he'd circled back around
Round-a-back circle, round-a-back realized
[Chorus]
And it's time, time, time for the last rewind
For a broken old man and a world unkind
He buried all his memories of home
In an icy clump that lies beneath the ground
[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge]
Ice is all he was made of
The bitter blue, and swollen through
He went over to the mound
Reclining down his final thoughts
Were drifting to the time his life had shined
[Chorus]
And it's time, time, time for the last rewind
For a broken old man and a world unkind
He buried all his memories of home
In an icy clump that lies beneath the ground
It's time, time, time for the last rewind
For a broken old man and a world unkind
He buried all his memories of home
In an icy clump that lies beneath the ground
