lyrics

TEARS OF AGES
Music and Lyrics by
Peter Sando
©1968 Sandbag Music

Did you ever read a story
And feel you were there
And when you hear a song of people dead and gone
Still you care

The crumbling of an ancient steeple
The passing of a queen
A young girl feeling old and feeble
And dying in her dream

(CHORUS) Oh the Tears of Ages
are here on the pages
Just to explain
And the voices behind you
come back to remind you
That people never seem to change

A king with every wealth and treasure
A pawn without a meal
A man who only yearns for pleasure
But what else can he feel

(CHORUS)

The travesty and woe of slavery
the taming of the west
An army led by pride and bravery
fighting to the death

(CHORUS)

So every time you read a story
You know you’ll be there
And when you hear a song of people dead and gone
The Tears of Ages you’ll share

The original Gandalf album released on Capitol in 1969 has become a jewel of the psychedelic era. ... more
