Lyrics for The Last Time I Saw the Old Man

The last time I saw the old man, he was moving very slowly And he didn't seem to know me His hands seemed so fragile and gray I was worried I might break them Showed him pictures but he didn't understand The last time I saw the old man The last time I saw the old man, he was talking very strangely In ever decreasing circles His eyes looked on landscapes so far Full of laughter and forgetting As we left, the sun was setting on the land The last time I saw the old man
