Old man in the garden

Planting all his love

The berries toppled over

And the honeysuckle choked the road, yeah



Went to the top of the levee

And we skipped rocks on the water



Old man in the morning

You see it was all he knew

His life had become his garden

And he gave away everything that he grew, yeah



Went to the top of the levee

And we skipped rocks on the water

He seemed to know about everything

He filled my head when it was hollow



Old man said he had to go

Old man had to magnify his soul



Old man in the garden

Planting all his love

The berries toppled over

And the honeysuckle choked the road, yeah



Went to the top of the levee

And we skipped rocks on the water

He seemed to know about everything

He filled my head when it was hollow



Old man said he had to go

Old man had to magnify his soul, soul yeah
