John Common And Blinding Flashes Of Light walter whitman

Select language to translate this lyric

When I'm old and the time I sold
Comes back to me in memory
All my gray hair turn me silver
Holding on to my rocking chair
I wonder what i'll want back
I wonder what i'll give back
But it doesn’t work that way
Walter Whitman
I want your wisdom now
Writing on my page
But my captain
Doesn't answer 'til
The ship is anchored safe
And the babies tucked away
Did you live right, did you love right
Did they hear your melody
Rise above the noisy city
Like a bird that's finally free
Now I see it
All together
We'll make it work this way
Walter Whitman
I want your wisdom now
Writing on my page
But my captain
Doesn't answer 'til
The ship is anchored safe
And the babies tucked away
Walter Whitman
Walter Whitman
