The old man sitting there
His head bowed down
Every now and then
He'll take a look around
And his eyes reflect
The memory pain of years gone by
He can't regain nostalgic dreams
He'll never see again
With trembling hands
He wipes a tear
Many fall like rain
There's one for every year
And his life laid out so clearly now
Life that's brought death
So nearly now life once he clung too dearly let's go
But spare a thought as you pass him by
Take a closer look and you'll say
He's our tomorrow, just as much as we are his yesterday
A lonely grave
And soon forgot
Only wind and leaves
Lament his mournful song
Yet they shout his epitaph out clear
For anyone who's passing near
It names the person lying here as you
And you, and you, and you
And you
