lyrics

WALTER WHITMAN
written by john common

When I'm old and the time I sold
Comes back to me in memory
All my gray hair turn me silver
Holding on to my rocking chair

I wonder what i'll want back
I wonder what i'll give back
But it doesn’t work that way

Walter Whitman
I want your wisdom now
Writing on my page
But my captain
Doesn't answer 'til
The ship is anchored safe
And the babies tucked away

Did you live right, did you love right
Did they hear your melody
Rise above the noisy city
Like a bird that's finally free

Now I see it
All together
We'll make it work this way

Walter Whitman
I want your wisdom now
Writing on my page
But my captain
Doesn't answer 'til
The ship is anchored safe
And the babies tucked away

Walter Whitman
