Echo Park - Keith Barbour

It's the morning soon he'll rise 
Find the glasses for his eyes 
Aren't what they used to be 
Picks up the clothes he's worn so long 
On the bureau sits the picture of a lady 
And the mural of a man who's been gone for many years 

(CHORUS) 
The old man walks in Echo Park 
From bench to bench he moves from morning ‘til dark 
For the ducks some bread he brings 
Wonder if he'll feed them this time next spring 

Listening to the children play 
Reminds him of other days 
Many years ago 
Thoughts of a child that he helped grow 
And the memory of a letter saying dear sir 
We regret to inform you, your son will not be coming home 

(REPEAT CHORUS) 

(BRIDGE) 
Old man tell me are there fears 
Do you measure life in years 
Or is one day all you'll ever know 
I've got to know 

(REPEAT CHORUS) 

(CODA) 
Have I been a good man 
Have I tried to see the light 
Wish I may, wish I might 
Have the wish I wish tonight 
Have I been a good man
