Weary Man lyrics

It won't be darker Everyone told me It won't be darker A flowery phrase Some friends are leaving They simply go to sleep And shaking darkness Slowly ripening I saw a weary man He watched the playground Where children dreamed of things he used to dream of... "One says that every sort of human being loses, after reaching a certain age, his ability to see The world with amazing eyes. But who can maintain this without the knowledge, Without the wisdom of infinity? We're still dazzling ourselves with sparks of ignorance. I won't go that way!" I saw the weary man He turned his heart away from the playground He looked so sad - as sad as me
