My Old Man (Buddy's Refrain)

My old man doesn't know me
very well...
he doesn't know what makes me cry,
what makes me laugh;
he doesn't know what I dream about,
what or whom I long for
in the blue shadows of the night.

My old man doesn't know where
love has taken me...
whom I've loved and lost,
whom I've used and been used by;
he doesn't know who has
broken my heart,
nor any of those whose hearts
I've broken in my ongoing
journey to myself.

My old man doesn't know me
very well...
but he loves me anyway...
and perhaps,
just perhaps,
none of the rest matters much
when all is said and done.
