Old Man Lyrics

Artist: Randy Newman
Album: Sail Away

Everyone has gone away
Can you hear me? Can you hear me?
No one cared enough to stay
Can you hear me? Can you hear me?
You must remember the old man
I know that you can if you try
So just open up your eyes old man
Look who's come to say goodbye

The sun has left the sky old man
The birds have flown away
And no one came to cry old man
Goodbye old man goodbye

You want to stay I know you do
But it ain't no use to try
'Cause I'll be here-and I'm just like you
Goodbye, old man, goodbye

Won't be no God to comfort you
You taught me not to believe that lie
You don't need anybody
Nobody needs you
Don't cry, old man, don't cry
Everybody dies

Comments/Interpretations
by Tracy Rice Weber on 11/7/2008 9:10am I think there's an error in line 5. Shouldn't it be, "You must remember me old man?"
by Amanda on 7/9/2009 6:25pm I think it's either "You must remember me old man" or "You must remember me, oh me"
by Ko on 10/16/2009 8:03am Correct; Line 5 should read: "You must remember me old man" It's very clear on the recording and logically correct.
