RUSHHEAD666 Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 Not sure if this morbid music topic has mentioned on here before but here it goes! I was listening to the Alan Parsons Project album, "Eye In The Sky" last night and as the last track was playing, "Old And Wise" I thought to myself that it would be a great song to be played at my funeral. Strangely enough as most of you know the great vocalist in that band, Eric Wolfson recently passed away. What a bummer. Do you think they played "Old And Wise" at Eric's funeral? R.I.P. Anyway here are the lyrics for "Old And Wise." "As far as my eyes can see There are shadows approaching me And to those I left behind I wanted you to know You've always shared my deepest thoughts You follow where I go And oh when I'm old and wise Bitter words mean little to me Autumn winds will blow right through me And someday in the mist of time When they asked me if I knew you I'd smile and say you were a friend of mine And the sadness would be lifted from my eyes Oh when I'm old and wise As far as my eyes can see There are shadows surrounding me And to those I leave behind I want you all to know You've always shared my darkest hours I'll miss you when I go And oh when I'm old and wise Heavy words that tossed and blew me Like autumn winds will blow right through me And someday in the mist of time Whey they ask you if you knew me Remember that you were a friend of mine As the final curtain falls before my eyes Oh when I'm old and wise As far as my eyes can see........" I have three songs that I want played at my funeral: 1. "Old And Wise" The Alan Parsons Project 2. "Stars Die" Porcupine Tree 3. "YYZ" RUSH Isn't it strange that an anagram for FUNERAL is REAL FUN? What irony............ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hatchetaxe&saw Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 When An Old Cricketer Leaves The Crease - Roy Harper When the day is done, and the ball has spun, in the umpire's pocket away And all remains, in the groundsman's pains for the rest of time and a day There'll be one mad dog and his master, pushing for four with the spin On a dusty pitch, with two pounds six of willow wood in the sun When an old cricketer leaves the crease, you never know whether he's gone If sometimes you're catching a fleeting glimpse of a twelfth man at silly mid-on And it could be Geoff, and it could be John, with a new ball sting in his tail And it could be me, and it could be thee, and it could be the sting in the ale Sting in the ale. When an old cricketer leaves the crease, well you never know whether he's gone If sometimes you're catching a fleeting glimpse of a twelfth man at silly mid-on And it could be Geoff and it could be John, with a new ball sting in his tail And it could be me and it could be thee, and it could be the sting in the ale The sting in the ale. When the moment comes and the gathering stands and the clock turns back to reflect On the years of grace as those footsteps trace for the last time out of the act Well this way of life's recollection, the hallowed strip in the haze The fabled men and the noonday sun are much more than just yarns of their days. When an old cricketer leaves the crease, well you never know whether he's gone If sometimes you're catching a fleeting glimpse of a twelfth man at silly mid-on And it could be Geoff and it could be John with a new ball sting in his tail And it could be me and it could be thee and it could be the sting in the ale The sting in the ale. When an old cricketer leaves the crease, well you never know whether he's gone If sometimes you're catching a fleeting glimpse of a twelfth man at silly mid-on And it could be me and it could be thee.
