Oh old one tell me a tale of days gone
So that I may learn your wisdom that I may pass along
Oh unravel the waves of truth hidden in the crashing tide
Oh break me from the evil that kills us inside
Oh tell me a tale of the eternal heart that never lies

By the roadside you have hitched
And weave through the troubled world
And fought the Great War and found the great girl
To you we raise our glasses to the ancients upon high
For the life we lead today echoes in our children's eyes
And the things we share are kept inside a heart that never lies

Oh old one tell me a tale of days gone
So that I may learn your wisdom and I may pass it on
Oh unravel the waves of truth hidden in the crashing tide
Oh break me from the evil that kills us inside
Oh tell me a tale of the eternal heart that never lies

By the roadside you have hitched
And weave through the troubled world
And fought the Great War and found the great girl
To you we raise our glasses to the ancients upon high
For the life we lead today echoes in our children's eyes
And the things we share are kept inside a heart that never lies

Was a simple time way back when
And I thought that I could conquer all
However the path that I had chosen was destined to fall
I look towards you for guidance when my worlds collide
You remind me of the compass that drives me inside
And the things we share are kept inside a heart that never lies

Old one tell me a tale of days gone
So that I may learn your wisdom that I may pass it on
Oh unravel the waves of truth hidden in the crashing tide
Oh break me from the evil that kills us inside
Oh tell me a tale of the eternal heart that never lies
Oh break us from the evil that kills us inside
Tell us a tale of the eternal heart that never lies
