sitting in the corner @ the coffee shop
sometimes i think, why not just go up to these people and find who they really are.
but, that's not me, so i just reinvent their lives on paper.

I am an old man
rooted in my ways
I’m thankful for the good times
I put up with the pain
and here I am alone now
but I’m hopeful of a change
I can smell it in the roses
growing ‘round her grave
my friends have all been faithful
my enemies were true
I’ve made an honest living
these fingers bare the proof
my little girl’s all grown now
she’s a lawyer in Detroit
but she calls every Sunday
and heals me with her voice
Nancy was a good wife
the strong and silent type
but she always saved a good word
for the calming fire light
and though she’s passed on now
I am sure we’ll meet again
she’ll be waiting with a coffee
when my journey finally ends

I get so emotional when I see that lonely old man...
Always have.
I was raised by a whole gang of great aunts and uncles and have a love and affinity for our elders.
And I don't feel right when you're gone away
