With my old man's wrinkled hand, br with my old man's squinting eyes, br let me hold your lovely hand, br let me guard your lovely eyes. br Worlds have tumbled, through their fall br like a wild beast chased by fright br I came, and I on you did call br scared, I wait with you inside. br With my old man's wrinkled hand, br with my old man's squinting eyes, br let me hold your lovely hand, br let me guard your lovely eyes. br I do not know why, how long br can I thus remain for you - br but I hold your lovely hand br and I guard your lovely eyes.
