A Tired Old Man Lyrics by Kevin Gilbert

Nuts

0

A puppet maker's shop
The old man lives alone
And his hair has all gone grey
He folds his arms and smiles
Begins to make his plans
For what he will do today
I've lived my life alone
And it's never been that bad
But I wish my work were done
A puppet carved from wood
He will be my son
Who I will call the only one
But I wish he could really share my dream
Come to life within my hands
You are string for me, a tired old man
Speak, my son, oh, speak to me
Life is wonderful. I wish you could see
I wish he could really share my life
Oh, I wish he could really share my love
And in the dark of night
The old man lost in thought
The puppet's life is finally won
And when morning comes
The old man sheds a tear
As he holds his only son
There is so much I want for you
Come to life within my hands
You are string for me, a tired old man
Speak, my son, oh, speak to me
Life is wonderful. I wish you could see
Make you know what it's like to feel
Make you know what it's like to live
