Promising Old Man
You never climbed that mountain
Never wrote that book
Never really did anything
You always said you would
Last night in my apartment
I was talking with your ghost
We didn't know what happened
Til we read a Facebook post
In the graveyard
There's a barren patch of land
Here lies
A promising old man
I heard you had a daughter
I heard she's doing okay
But there's something in the water here
And the water's in her veins
We fell as light as feathers
From your parent's loft
If you ever get to heaven
I hope the landing's just as soft
In the graveyard
There's a barren patch of land
Here lies
A promising old man
And one thing I'm still learning
Is to keep the things I've got
Not lose them while I'm searching
For all the things I'm not
And I never climbed that mountain
I never wrote that book
I never really did anything
I always said I would
In the graveyard
There's a barren patch of land
Here lies
A promising old man
Never wrote that book
Never really did anything
You always said you would
Last night in my apartment
I was talking with your ghost
We didn't know what happened
Til we read a Facebook post
In the graveyard
There's a barren patch of land
Here lies
A promising old man
I heard you had a daughter
I heard she's doing okay
But there's something in the water here
And the water's in her veins
We fell as light as feathers
From your parent's loft
If you ever get to heaven
I hope the landing's just as soft
In the graveyard
There's a barren patch of land
Here lies
A promising old man
And one thing I'm still learning
Is to keep the things I've got
Not lose them while I'm searching
For all the things I'm not
And I never climbed that mountain
I never wrote that book
I never really did anything
I always said I would
In the graveyard
There's a barren patch of land
Here lies
A promising old man
