about

originally written on March 18, 2013

lyrics

He was 85 years old
And crippled from the war
His hands lost the sense of touch
And his heart couldn’t feel anymore
He was cold as stone
And he lost all his gold
And he spent his last day sitting by the shore
All alone

But little did he know
There was still life in his lungs that night
Little did he know
He could’ve gone so far and been so much
Since that day at 21
The night it took him young
And he just never came out
No he just never came out, he just never came out

He’s been searching for the light
Ever since that day
His eyes blinded by the dark
He believes the sun will never rise again
And yet there it was, it’s always been there (You’ve always been there)

I saw him by the sea
On the last day of his life
He told me all his secrets and his darkest past
Oh and he also mentioned to me
“Don’t wait for your last day to finally breathe.”
