lyrics

WHEN WE'RE OLD © Tony King 1993

How many miles can an eagle fly ...
Measure the joy in a child's eye....
How many prayers in a rosary bead...
How many roses in a seed...
Can you feel the power of an angry sea...
How many questions on your knees...
How many years till the sun goes cold? The more you learn the less you know...
I wish that you could imagine how much I will love you when we're old..

How many wishes in the sky .....
How many skeptics wondering why...
Are there any horseshoes in your dreams
Anything random in a mountain stream?
How many golden leaves will fall... what is the greatest gift of all?
I remember the day your name was told.. I begged the future to unfold...
I wish that you could imagine how much I will love you when we're old..
How many poets watched a bird …and never wrote a single word ....
Who was given the eyes to see… the meaning of the mystery?
How many paintings come to life… In the vision of a wife
How many signs on a rocky road... How many teardrops turn to gold?...
I wish that you could imagine how much I will love you when we're old

about

Beautifully Mad Sydney, Australia

Breathtaking original music reminiscent of the beauty of James Taylor, some honey from Melody Gardot, a lyrical spice of Cohen washed down with some Waits-like humour. A musical flame that licks at the heels of Folk and Jazz
