Tell me your secrets old man in this life
Did you bleed your dreams till they broke you free from struggle and strife
Did you roam the earth with winged feathers on your back
In the lilac rushes steal those gold chestnut crushes you've been keeping tight until they slacked
Who gave you those laughing lines etched into your weathered face
And that glint and hint of mischief in those ice blue eyes of late
Are your bear claw mittens softer than they look
Did they trace the laughing lines with soft caresses and butterfly kisses around a cheeky nook
You've been wandering the paths around the tracks  for far too long
So old man have you seen enough to scream your song
Into the distant skies
To flee your cares into wandering flights of fancy
To sing on until the crescent moon goes elsewhere with all it's own romancing
