Old And Wise Lyrics - Alan Parson Project

As far as my eyes can see 

There are shadows approaching me 

And to those I left behind 

I wanted you to know 

You've always shared my deepest thoughts 

You follow where I go 

And, oh, when I'm old and wise 

Bitter words mean little to me 

Autumn winds will blow right through me 

And someday in the mist of time 

When they asked me if I knew you 

I'd smile and say you were a friend of mine 

And the sadness would be lifted from my eyes 

Oh, when I'm old and wise 

As far as my eyes can see 

There are shadows surrounding me 

And to those I leave behind 

I want you all to know 

You've always shared my darkest hours 

I'll miss you when I go 

And, oh, when I'm old and wise 

Heavy words that tossed and blew me 

Like autumn winds that will blow right through me 

And someday in the mist of time 

When they ask you if you knew me 

Remember that you were a friend of mine 

As the final curtain falls before my eyes 

Oh, when I'm old and wise
