Did this version in Ab using the six-string, direct into the computer. You can hear the cars go by outside the office window. Need to cut some lyrics.
Praise and worship, fingerrstyle and accompanied acoustic guitar
Welcome. I hope you enjoy!
Story behind the song
Just a long ballad
Lyrics
The night's starry sky, eternities shown,
a black dark highway leading me home
Split in two by two yellow lines,
one leading nowhere, one to those left behind
I've lived a thousand years, seen the world unfold,
travelled a million miles, with stories untold
Please old man, where have I been, I don't know son, but you haven't reached trails end
I've seen sorrow and I have seen pain,
loves come and gone like sweet summer rain
I've crossed deserts and seas a thousand miles wide,
as friends and lovers were cast aside
Searching ever searching, wondering where it would end,
lingering at love's door, but never entering in
Please old man, where have I been, I don't know son, but you haven't reached trails end
So I sit here, old with dry leathered skin,
tortured by what might have been
Alone in my thoughts, memories long,
of days and nights and passions so strong
Dreams like fairies dance through my brain,
with nothing left yet nothing to gain
If only those words had passed through my lips,
as we wished upon stars and sailed in silver ships
Please old man, where have I been, I don't know son, but you haven't reached trails end
Never thought I would see you again,
like shadows appearing but lost in the wind
My mind can see what the eyes cannot,
the heart remembers what the mind forgot
Two hearts beating, with one love shared,
dreaming and scheming without a care
Please, tell me, tell me, were those feelings true,
or simply the longings of this old fool
Please old man, where have I been, I don't know son, but you haven't reached trails end
