Before The Old Man Died Lyrics & Chords By Paul Kelly And The Messengers

I used to walk in shadows
I stayed out of the sun
I used to sort informtaion
and I used to pass it on
Before the old man died
Before we came alive
Before the old man died
I used to follow orders
Did my duty like a son
But I fell in love with whispers
And I turned them into songs
Before the old man died
Before we came alive
Before the old man died
For the way he ruined our mother
Not enough blood can run
We had plans me and my brother
Every day I cleaned the gun
Before the old man died
Before we came alive
Before the old man died
Before we came alive
