My old man's tall as a tree When he talks it sounds so deep His stride spans two miles He rebuilds the fragile My old man is tall as a tree I try to walk in his shoes They weight too much to move But my feet just fall out I'll wear them somehow I try to walk in his shoes He casts a long shadow That lasts all my life The winter sun won't shine The southwards hill too high But we live on in twilight And I can still see alright The winter sun won't shine It casts a long shadow That lasts all my life When the sunsets And I'm helpless Oh I'm not afraid of the dark When it's midnight I'm in full flight Oh I'm not afraid of the dark no more My old mans tall as a tree All the birds fly round his knees I'm only halfway But I'll get there some day My old mans tall as a tree My old mans tall as a tree
