Echo Park Lyrics

Echo Park lyrics

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
