The Old Man

by Travis   Nov 19, 2007


My heart aches my pain grows strong
I miss my love she has been gone to long

I wish she was here by my side holding my hand
For I am weak and I know I'm about the leave this land

Thinking back, so many things I wish I had done
Now it's too late this game is over and I have not won

I wish for just one last kiss, her sweet lips press to mine
I have felt her lips so many times all I'm asking for is one last time

Death is here for me for my breaths are shallow and I'm very weak
I don't want to go, it's not my time to die, but I feel a single tear fall down my cheek

I had so many dreams not yet fulfilled and now they have gone away
I tried to live my life granting the wishes of my love, but she to has gone astray

So as I lay here freezing on this cold wet floor
Suddenly someone comes rushing through the door,
Placing her hand upon my face and softly saying, "The Old Man" is breathing no more
