p.2. The Old Folks

And if they still go out, arm in arm, arm in arm, in the morning's chill

It's to have a good cry, to say their last good-bye to one who's older still

Dm7b5

And then they go home to the old silver clock, when day is through

G7sus

It tick-tocks oh so slow, it says, "Yes," it says, "No," it says,

"I'll wait for you"

The old folks never die, they just put down their heads and go to sleep one day

They hold each other's hand, like children in the dark, but one will get lost anyway

And the other will remain just sitting in that room, which makes no sound

It doesn't matter now, the song has died away, and echoes all around

You'll see them when they walk through the sun-filled park, where children run and play

It hurts too much to smile, it hurts too much but life goes on for still another day

Dm7b5

As they try to es-cape the old silver clock, when day is through

G7sus

Bbm7b5

It tick-tocks oh so slow, it says, "Yes," it says, "No," it says,

"I'll wait for you"

Dm7b5

The old, old silver clock that's hanging on the wall, that waits for us all
