Forgetful Hero

on that day his old thoughts were as fresh as the drops of an autumn rain
 in the wind his nightcap fluttered at the slow rhythm of the smoky gray leaves
 through his gown that waste air played a song he has heard fifty years ago
 at his feet broken shards and dead grass draw the path for an old good time mythic land
 go little old man don't dare to come back
 hold on your dusty clap-trap
 wandering going nowhere while october's turning red
 listening to the leaves fall something's fading
 among sleeping memories there's a face that's fading in
 feels like missing something always been there
 around so many people
 he feels good
 a familiar feeling
 look there
 musicians are playing
 people are laughing and dancing
 the party is far to be over
 a woman is waiting for him
 to give him a chance
 he's staring at her
 dance with me all life long as the leaves keep falling down
 stay with me and hold me till the end arrives
 among sleeping memories there's your face that's fading in
 I am feeling like I've always been there
 Among sleeping memories there's your face that's fading in
 I am feeling like I've always been there
