The oldest man on earth, take two

there is no one who remembers me

when I was a child

I might as well have

been raised up in the wild

I grew up here

and it's here I will rest

when death comes to grant

my final request

soon is the end

of my circle of birth

I am the oldest man on earth

I have no sister

no brother

no mother or dad

I've lost everyone

that I've ever had

I had my fair share of love

struggle and pain

now fading memories

are all that remain

still I keep breathing

for all that it's worth

I am the oldest man on earth

the man in the moon

ain't got nothing on me

as he shines on the sailors

lost on the sea

well, shiver me timbers

a pirate's life for me

as I sail into the sunset

who'll be my witness

what is my crime

whatever the season

no reason

no rhyme

I dream of the river

that led me to you

the only true lover

that I ever knew

soon is the end

I ask:

blessing or curse?

I am the oldest man on earth

I am the oldest man on earth
