Days of Old
A long time ago in those days of old,
there was one thing we were supposed to do.
They scribbled it down in letters of gold,
treat others as you would have them treat you.’
We are supposed to love all our neighbors,
feed the hungry and help protect the weak.
If anyone should ever do us wrong,
that’s when we should

The Fort, In Days of Old
The paddlewheel unloads people,
tourists who were out on a cruise,
above the docks and the gift shops
the brown palisades come in view.
(The canoes draw up on the beach,
Iroquois out looking to trade,
in the fort the merchants gaze on,
guns and metal they’ll send their way.)
The families walk to the gate,
the young boys humming joyously,
his place is out

The Days of Old
I never will forget the days of old
when having neighbors meant more to us then.
I think that for technology we’ve sold
the sweetness of the way things were back when.
I used to read the tales of Nancy Drew
but couldn’t buy the books since we were poor,
but nearby was a rich girl that we knew.
To borrow books

Days of Old
Another day was spent,
Another day was earned.
Another day was lent,
Another day was burned.
Moments that were crossed,
Moments that were paved.
Moments that were tossed,
Moments that were saved.
Loss of my step,
Loss of my stride.
Loss of my pep,
Loss of my pride.
Closer to the ground,
Closer to the wind.
Closer to the mound,
Closer to the end.

The Days of Old
I remember a time when,
Things were simple
When kids were kids and technology,
Had not diseased their young minds.
The future of America looked bright,
Then those traitors on bended knee,
Turned their back on old glory.
Shredding the image that we once,
Held dear in our hearts.
Destroying a nation that we can,
Never come back from.
How can we police the world

Days of Old Returned
Those olden days those Celtic lands
Now I ponder my ancient kin
Who kept awake while listening
During the stormy nights of rain and winds
Cold wet nights those achy joints brought and bring
And now as then there were books paper and pens
For storms now halt electricity and computers
They lay still and quiet all the day
While back then

Days of Old 2
I think that it's easier to go forward if on occasions one recalls back THEN,
A simpler place and time, an era, a period, a generation of 'remember WHENS'. We start our stories with the likes of, "When I was a boy, or "When I was a GIRL". Our listeners know where we are
