OLD MAN
© 2011 John Speed Lyrics & Music

There's an old man coming up the street
He's the one who'll give you everything you need
You say he's too old, he's quiet but he's so bold
He's got a hand on the chain,
If he pulls its gonna rain, you'll see

White hairy bastard leaning to the right
Sleeping in the morning but he doesn't sleep at night
You can hear him when he speaks
He knows there's nothing left for keeps
He's got a slow down in his brain
A tolerance for pain, you'll see

I'll take the weight, you spin the rhyme,
We live in this place
Move to the calling of space and time
Place in my heart choice we can make
Lay down this weight
Move to the beating of love sublime

Wake up the masses, free those you blame
The future age passes, old man knows its name
He laughs and he dances, as he whispers your name
Every truth I believed
Every rule now relieved, you'll see

John Speed image

John Speed Saint Anicet, Québec

John Speed’s music takes shape through lyrics that grasp the essential truths often hidden in life’s awakenings. Feel the blanketing effect of his vocals set into unframed instrumentation that instills an intriguingly comfortable rubato groove. John Speed, c'est un tête-à-tête avec une époque archétypale qui va droit au cœur ... Une musique qui a le don de réparer l'âme! » ... more
