Don’t Cry, Old Man (worktape)

Janis Ian

[Verse 1]
Winter's cold, summer's hot
Love is old, dreams are not
Times are hard and so am I
Tired heart, too tired to cry

[Verse 2]
Dreams are all I have to give
When we die our dreams still live
Old man, I'm thirsty still
One day I'll drink my fill

[Verse 3]
Oh, I've been away too long, I've been away too long
I don't remember how it's done
Can I call on you for help
Or do I have to help myself?

[Verse 4]
Are you glad with what you've got?
Are you burning, are you hot?
When we're old, then like as not
We will burn until we rot

[Verse 5]
Don't weep, old man, don't cry, I knew you whеn
I was so much colder then
Fathers always build thе dreams
Children tear apart the seams

[Verse 6]
Old man, I'm thirsting still
When will we drink our fill?
Old man, please don't die
Before our thirst is satisfied
