"Old Man" lyrics

So much further off than time could reach, today it would be too late
So much despair he has bled but will he wither away?
No one knows that you must keep this old man wide awake
'Cause no one knows that he could feed our lives with a brighter flame

Hush little dreamer, the bearer of light
Has come to set you free
Now little dreamer at last you can sigh
'Cause the nightmares will be released

Sweeter far than life I found that love was
Sweeter far than love to die as he did

Sweeter far than life I found that love was
Sweeter far than love to die as he did

Hush little dreamer, the bearer of light
Has come to set you free
Now little dreamer at last you can sigh
'Cause the nightmares will be released

The stars fell from the night sky
As he reached his hands in the air

As the sun peeked between the trees
The old man burst to tears

Sweeter far than life I found that love was
Sweeter far than love to die as he did
