Old Souls

I wanna go to a place in time where love is sweet, wine is fine
Troubles of my mind are far away
Do you remember such a place?
Lovers two, in harmony, slipping past the mystery
There is no secret code or key
But it's harder than it seems

Of all the beauty in humanity
From Beethoven to Debussy
No song could ever sing to me
So soft and sweet

I've been told I'm an old soul
As if I understand all I've seen
All I know, time is only passing
In a land of the blind
Where one-eyed men are kings
So here's to you looking back at me

When all my days of youth are spent paying dues and making rent
I hear there is an open door
Steady on and stay the course
I do not seek your sympathy but a line or two of honesty
I'll sort the rest out on my own
Some roads you must go down alone

I've been told I'm an old soul
As if I understand all I've seen
All I know, time is only passing
In a land of the blind
Where one-eyed men are kings
So here's to you looking back at me
