Epitaph

The old man sitting there His head bow 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 so dearly now let's go But spare a thought as you pass him by Just get a closer look and you'll say He's our tomorrow Just as we were his yesterday A lonely grave And soon forgot Only wind and leaves Lament this 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
