lyrics

Bent Old Man and Mule - song by Elyce & Benjamin Russell (socan)

Pale wind blows 'cross the mountain side
'Cross cliffs and ragged trees
In haunting lisps it whispers as
It moves dry grass and leaves

Through chill grey early evening
Comes a bent old man and mule
This land shall soon know winter
They come in search of fuel

His back grown old and twisted
A gnarled tree among the stones
But there’s solid strength within him
He feels peaceful in his bones

Never left this land to roam
Never seen a city street
He feels no lack or emptiness
His touch with life complete
