My Old Man

[Verse 1]
My old man's tall as a tree
When he talks, it sounds so deep
His stride spans two miles
He rebuilds the fragile
My old man is tall as a tree

[Verse 2]
And I try to walk in his shoes
They weigh too much to move
But my feet just fall out
But I'll wear them somehow
I try to walk in his shoes

[Refrain]
And he casts a long shadow
That lasts all my life

[Verse 3]
The winter sun won't shine
The southwards hill's too high
But we live on in twilight
And I can still see alright
The winter sun won't shine

[Refrain]
And it casts a long shadow
That lasts all my life

[Bridge]
When the sunsets and I'm helpless
Oh, I'm not afraid of the dark
When it's midnight, I'm in full flight
Oh, I'm not afraid of the dark no more

[Outro]
My old man's tall as a tree
All the birds fly around his knees
I'm only halfway
But I'll get there someday
My old man's tall as a tree
My old man's tall as a tree
