I'm just an old man
I'm just an old man
They said we had to go away
I'm just an old man
How could I understand
Then a light, a light came from the, the strangers' skin
They seemed to know my, my neighbors
Tears fell, fell from my eyes
I'm just an old man
I offered them my, my daughters
Fire fell from the sky
My wife was worried they, they
And tears fell from my eyes
Or maybe salt had hardened on her
Then there was a, a pounding sound
I was lonely for my wife, oh
So I gave them safety in my home
How could I understand, yes
Fire fell from the sky
I remember danger when the strangers came
It only ever happened once or twice, yes
They, they knew my name
And screaming voices all around
Turned to stone like a bone
How could I understand, yes
