Old Wise lyrics

(lead vocal - colin bluntstone)



As far as my eyes can see

There are shadows approaching me

And to those I left behind

I wanted you to know

Youve always shared my deepest thoughts

You follow where I go



And oh when Im old and wise

Bitter words mean little to me

Autumn winds will blow right through me

And someday in the mist of time

When they asked me if I knew you

Id smile and say you were a friend of mine

And the sadness would be lifted from my eyes

Oh when Im old and wise



As far as my eyes can see

There are shadows surrounding me

And to those I leave behind

I want you all to know

Youve always shared my darkest hours

Ill miss you when I go



And oh, when Im old and wise

Heavy words that tossed and blew me

Like autumn winds that will blow right through me

And someday in the mist of time

When they ask you if you knew me

Remember that you were a frined of mine

As the final curtain falls before my eyes

Oh when Im old and wise



As far as my eyes can see
