Janis Ian - Don't Cry Old Man lyrics

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 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 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 Do I have to help myself Are you glad with what you've got Are you burning, are you hot When we're old, like as not We will burn until we rot Don't weep old man, don't weep don't cry I knew you when I was so much colder then Fathers always build the dreams Children tear apart the seams Old man, I'm thirsting still One day I'll drink my fill Old man, please don't die Before our thirst is satisfied
