Old Ties and Companions Songtext
von Mandolin Orange

Old man give me endless time
Never let these ties sever
It′s breaking bottles in the yard
Never still my mind again
Mmm

Like old ties and companions
Just sittin' on the fence


The tunes we′ve carried through the years will change
And man, that's just enough
To keep these ghosts around those haunted fields
Mmm

Like old ties and companions
You and I, we're just passing through

It′s a hundred thousand miles of lonely track
Holding back tomorrow
Someday I′ll hop along and ride it home

But old ties and companions
We never leave alone

So old man give me endless time, never let these ties sever
'Cause heaven knows and all this fooling around
These times won′t last forever, after all
