Old Man Lyrics

Old man please
leave your body 'til your ready for relief
you may have gone away from ordinary words
from all the trees and all the birds
we write our love for you in blood
don't you see
we tell a story with a thorn in every word

Won't you please forgive
We've managed to stop the din before you heard
before you heard

Old man please
everybody's tired of begging on their knees
We lost your loving on the never ending trail
and words transformed along the way
we found ourselves a brighter home
don't you see
we tell a story with a thorn in every word

won't you please forgive?
we've managed to lock them in
we've managed to lock them in before you heard
(x2)
Before you heard

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
