Old Folks - Jacques Brel is Alive and Well and Living in Paris Original Cast[00:00:00]

The old folks don't talk much[00:00:09]

And they talk so slowly when they do[00:00:14]

They are rich they are poor[00:00:21]

Their illusions are gone[00:00:24]

They share one heart for two[00:00:27]

Their homes all smell of thyme[00:00:31]

Of old photographs[00:00:36]

And an old fashioned song[00:00:38]

Though you may live in town[00:00:42]

You live so far away[00:00:45]

When you've lived too long[00:00:48]

And have they laughed too much[00:00:52]

Do their dry voices crack[00:00:56]

Talking of times gone by[00:00:59]

All have they cried too much[00:01:03]

A tear or two[00:01:07]

Still always seems to cloud the eye[00:01:09]

They tremble as they watch the old silver clock[00:01:14]

When day is through[00:01:21]

It tick tocks oh so slow[00:01:24]

It says yes it says no[00:01:28]

It says I'll wait for you[00:01:31]

The old folks dream no more[00:01:40]

The books have gone to sleep[00:01:47]

The piano's out of tune[00:01:50]

The little cat is dead[00:01:55]

And no more do they sing[00:01:57]

On a sunday afternoon[00:01:59]

The old folks move no more[00:02:04]

Their world's become too small[00:02:08]

Their bodies feel like lead[00:02:10]

They might look out the window or else sit in a chair[00:02:15]

Or else they stay in bed[00:02:20]

And if they still go out[00:02:24]

Arm in arm arm in arm[00:02:28]

In the morning's chill[00:02:32]

It's to have a good cry[00:02:35]

To say their last good bye[00:02:38]

To one who's older still[00:02:40]

And then they go home to the old silver clock[00:02:45]

When day is through[00:02:52]

It tick tocks oh so slow[00:02:55]

It says yes it says no[00:02:59]

It says I'll wait for you[00:03:02]

The old folks never die[00:03:12]

They just lay down their heads[00:03:18]

And go to sleep one day[00:03:21]

They hold each other's hand like children in the dark[00:03:25]

But one will get lost anyway[00:03:31]

And the other will remain just sitting in that room[00:03:35]

Which makes no sound[00:03:42]

It doesn't matter now[00:03:47]

The song has died away[00:03:49]

And echoes all around[00:03:52]

You'll see them[00:03:55]

When they walk through the sun-filled park[00:03:57]

Where children run and play[00:04:03]

It hurts too much to smile[00:04:07]

It hurts too much but life goes on[00:04:10]

For still another day[00:04:14]

As they try to escape the old silver clock[00:04:17]

When day is through[00:04:24]

It tick-tocks oh so slow[00:04:28]

It says yes it says no[00:04:32]

It says I'll wait for you[00:04:35]

The old old silver clock that's hanging on the wall[00:04:45]

That waits for us all[00:04:58]
