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
