Age Old - Lyrics by Vert


Lyrics
I met an old king yesterday               he was standing on the mountain side               and though he wore peasants clothes                             his royalty he could not hide                                                    nor his grief                                           staring at the stars     his old hand pointing out the brightest by far                       he told me of the skys secrets                   and he says the stars lead to Jesus                                                  another king?                                    and he crys as he says                    I have wisdom but it matters not        for my children do not believe my words                      I have wealth but it matters not                 for it's not enough to buy their love                                            and he whispers                            my children do not love me                      as we sit and watch the sun fall                              he asks of my knowledgehe says he's felt the pain of a fallen castle wall            he clames sorrow is wisdom's college                      as I listen to his words of tears                            he quietly confirms my fear         that no matter how you run and scream                           terror is never just a dream                  I have wisdom, but it matters not       for my children do not believe my words                     I have wealth but it matters not               for it's not enough to buy their love                                           and he whispers                           my children do not love me      I'm the only one who listens to his words,        am I the only one to listen to his words?
