An Old Heartache

On the street corner 

there\'s an old man 

singing songs 

where he still 

has some love 

in him yet ,

somethings a heart 

no matter what 

doesn\'t forget 

 

No one but him knows 

all that\'s past 

before his eyes ,

and what\'s left 

within him 

or when 

it dies 

 

How many voyages 

of love 

he\'s made 

on boats or ships ,

and how many tears 

from his eyes 

still drips 

 

A lot of people\'s hearts 

are tied together 

by love and songs ,

and the ones they sing 

they think is 

where their love 

belongs 

 

I think this guy 

would go far 

in the musical arts ,

his voice paints 

a beautiful picture 

about 

broken hearts
