Old man Wrigley lived in that white house |
| [00:15.18] |
Down the street where I grew up |
| [00:18.65] |
My momma used to send me over with things |
| [00:22.41] |
We struck a friendship up |
| [00:27.16] |
I spent a few long summers |
| [00:33.66] |
Out on his old porch swing |
| [00:39.04] |
Said he was in the war in the navy |
| [00:43.06] |
Lost his wife' lost his baby |
| [00:47.03] |
I broke down and asked him one time |
| [00:50.90] |
How ya keep from going crazy |
| [00:56.86] |
He said I'll see my wife and son in just a little while |
| [01:02.96] |
I asked him what he meant |
| [01:07.00] |
He looked at me and smiled' and said |
| [02:41.91][01:09.73] |
I raise my hands' bow my head |
| [03:46.14][02:50.24][01:17.75] |
I'm finding more and more truth in the words written in red |
| [03:53.91][02:57.72][01:25.28] |
They tell me that there's more to life than just what I can see |
| [04:00.89][01:32.95] |
Oh I believe |
| [01:43.31] |
Few years later I was off at college |
| [01:47.30] |
Talkin' on the phone to my mom one night |
| [01:50.99] |
Getting all caught up on the gossip |
| [01:55.44] |
Of the small town life |
| [01:59.59] |
She said oh by the way child' old man Wrigley hass died. |
| [02:10.92] |
Later on that night' I laid there thinkin' back |
| [02:18.86] |
I thought about a couple long-lost summers |
| [02:22.90] |
I didn't know whether to cry or laugh |
| [02:27.56] |
Cause if there was ever anybody who deserved a ticket to the other side |
| [02:35.02] |
It'd be that sweet old man who looked me in the eye and said |
| [03:06.89] |
I can't quote the book |
| [03:10.33] |
The chapter or the verse |
| [03:14.03] |
You can't tell me it all ends |
| [03:18.18] |
In a slow ride in a hearse |
| [03:22.43] |
You know I'm more and more convinced |
| [03:26.33] |
The longer that I live |
| [03:29.54] |
No' this can't be |
| [03:33.05] |
No' it can't be |
| [03:34.71] |
This can't be all there is |
| [03:37.59] |
When I raise my hands' bow my head |
| [04:05.83] |
Ooh' I still believe |
