Tale of a familiar old man

He would sit there drinking tea
With a fat cat on his knees to say I remember
Those times when I was young
It a shame time is on the run
But I remember the flavors,
And I remember the colors

Broken backs and broken vans
Stupid jokes, our left arms tanned all that I remember
The food, shelter and kindest hands
I'm so grateful to all of them
I do remember their flavors
And I remember their colors

And if I lie sometimes
It's cause I'm checking my mind
I 'm trying to rewind
To get your face and name right

So if I did forget your names
Your faces curse my brains
The day and time we met eachother
The snacks and laughs we shared together
We're still around today
The most important things will always stay
Remembering the colors
Remembering the flavors
And if I lie sometimes
It's cause I'm checking my mind
I 'm trying to rewind
To get your face and name right
Did you notice that I was trying from the start when we were laughing
I hope not
But does it really matter
If the good is still remembered

He would sit there drinking tea
With a fat cat on his knees to say I remember
Those times when I was young
It a shame time is on the run
But I remember the flavors,
And I remember the colors



The sunrise…there's been plenty
My memory…just isn't as precise as it should be
