Paul Kelly - Before The Old Man Died lyrics

I used to walk in shadows I stayed out of the sun I used to sort information And I used to pa** it on Before the old man died Before we came alive Before the old man died I used to follow orders Did my duty like a son But I fell in love with whispers And I turned them into songs Before the old man died Before we came alive Before the old man died For the way he ruined our mother Not enough blood can run We had plans me and my brother Every day I cleaned the gun Before the old man died Before we came alive Before the old man died Before we came alive
