Janis Ian — Dont Cry Old Man

[Verse 1] Winter's cold, summer's hot Love is old, dreams are not Times are hard and so am I Tired heart, too tired to cry [Pre-Chorus 1] Dreams are all I have to give When we die our dreams still live [Chorus] Old man, I'm thirsty still One day I'll drink my fill [Post-Chorus] Oh, I've been away too long I've been away too long I don't remember how it's done [Verse 2] Can I call on you for help Do I have to help myself Are you glad with what you've got? Are you burning, are you hot? [Pre-Chorus 2] When we're old, like as not We will burn until we rot [Bridge] Don't weep, old man, don't weep, don't cry I knew you when I was so much coldеr then Fathers always build the drеams Children tear apart the seams [Chorus] Old man, I'm thirsting still One day I'll drink my fill [Pre-Chorus 3] Old man, please don't die Before our thirst is satisfied
