A Very Wise Old Man Songtext
von Hot Left Pole

Well they told me when I was young
"Never lose sight of where you′re from"
Then when I started looking back
They said "Stop living in the past"

But I'm turning into a very wise old man
And I′m learning as little as I can

Do you think we should start again?
Cos you were always laughing then
But it's funny how things work out
You're not laughing now


But I′m turning into a very wise old man
And I′m learning as little as I can

I saw the shadows on the wall
I was thinking I'd seen it all
But when the shadows started to sing
I knew I hadn′t seen a thing

But I'm turning into a very wise old man
And I′m learning as little as I can

So let the leopard change its spots
I'm sticking with what I′ve got
You can go and try something new
I've got better things to do


And I'm turning into a very wise old man
And I′m learning as little as I can
