old ties and companions

Singer:mandolin orange

old man give me endless time

never let these ties sever

it's breaking bottles in the yard

never still my mind again

like old ties and companions

just sitting on the fence

the tears we've carried through the years will change

and man that's just enough

to keep these ghosts around those haunted fields

like old ties and companions

you and i were just passing through

it's a hundred thousand miles of lonely track

holding back tomorrow

someday i'll hop along and ride it home

like old ties and companions

we never leave alone

so old man give me endless time never let these ties sever

so heaven knows and all this fooling around

these times won't last forever

afterall
