old man - dead soldiers lyrics

i saw an old man lookin’ at old photographs
at all the people he’s outlasted stuck there in the past
his eyes said what his mouth could not
they said it’s sad and strange to watch everything change
no it’ll never be the same

until you wonder if things were ever really that way
or if these pictures are lies and forgetting is the only way to survive
he looked at me, and said young man (young man, young man)

[chorus]
“you look like a friend i had a long time ago
the stories keep changing thе more times they’rе told
but the faces don’t change when they never grow old
some people hold on and some people let go”

of course it’s always been easier runnin’ away
to find what you’re looking for is another day
the world’s always been beautiful, just open your eyes
but if you live in the past it will all pass you by
this one lonely shot in the dark
alone when we’re dyin’

[instrumental]

he’s got a roadmap of heartbreak in the lines on his face
he said “you end up with nothing that time won’t erase”
he tapped the ash off his cigarette and he smiled through the smoke
“well young man, you’ve got to learn, learn to let go”
[chorus]
“you look like a friend i had a long time ago
the stories keep changing the more times they’re told
but the faces don’t change when they never grow old
you look like a friend i had a long time ago”

he looked at me, and said “young man”
and i guess that’s what i am
