He has no skin to cover his bones

He lives in the corner house all alone

Sits in the window and watches the crazy world go by

There you will find me by his side…

He says everybody's spinnin too fast

Takin' your time's a thing of the past

The only one that really lasts is love you'd better give me some of that

This old man is wiser

This old man is true

Opened up my eyes there watching the world go by from a window seat

We make each other's lives complete

He comes alive when the school bell rings

Says “I remember walkin on wings…

We counted every step and never touched the ground

Now I realize we all get lost just to be found

This old man is wiser

This old man is true

Opened up my eyes there watching the world go by from a window seat

We make each other's lives complete

Paint is peeling and the carpet is worn

But over and over now the memories are reborn

Through the window nothing's real to his eye

He says “Remember once my story is told

I'll realize that I am old.

With a smile I'll turn the page

I take my bow, you take the stage…”

This old man is wiser

This old man is true

Opened up my eyes there watching the world go by from a window seat

We make each other's lives complete
