Man with the gun
Verse
Was retracing my footsteps back thru the past.
When I met a man with a mask who asked me
What does the future hold?
I knew but I didn’t want to tell him
It’s a place where we grow old.
Chorus
He wouldn’t take no for an answer
He was the man with gun.
So I told him to solve the riddle.
What is old but dies young?
Verse
I played him an old movie shot in the past
Where he came upon his name in the cast
In an old foreign flick.
He saw that he played a very old man.
A man with a walking stick.
Chorus
He wouldn’t take no for an answer
He was the man with gun.
So I told him to solve the riddle.
What is old but dies young?
Bridge
I said if you don’t know now
You will someday.
When you are old and pass back this way.
