The Very Old Man Lyrics

Cover art for The Very Old Man lyrics by Hum

Sound to me like a couple that has been together for a long time. The old man is on life support and the woman has to make the decision to "pull the plug". The imagery is all there with the wires connected to the man. "A golden disengagement leaves her with a house to fill" - she will be alone after she pulls the plug. Very sad song, with brilliant lyrics. Matt Talbot is an underrated genius
