Echo Park

                                  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 â??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 



[Chorus] 



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 



[Chorus] 



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
