Mandolin Orange - Old Ties And Companions lyrics

Old man give me endless time Never let these ties sever It's breaking bottles in the yard Never still my mind again Mmm Like old ties and companions Just sitting on the fence The tears we've carried through the years will change And man that's just enough To keep these ghosts around those haunted fields Mmm Like old ties and companions You and I were just pa**ing through It's a hundred thousand miles of lonely track Holding back tomorrow Someday I'll hop along and ride it home Like old ties and companions We never leave alone So old man give me endless time never let these ties sever So heaven knows and all this fooling around These times won't last forever, afterall
