Well, I knew an old man, he told a tale When he was young blood and not old and frail
He'd tell me of one grand place A station and a homestead in an age of grace
He spoke daylight when twenty men Would leave the main yards, their mobs tanned
And in the evening, fires burned bright Down in the borders, laughter in the night
It was an age of grace and it's satisfied An age of grace, I wonder why
Time rolls on, fates are grey Say goodbye to yesterday
And in the big house, where plans went down They thought about their people when they talked about their pounds
Everybody had their own place Part of the picture in an age of grace
It was an age of grace and it's satisfied An age of grace, I wonder why
Time rolls on, fates are grey Say goodbye to yesterday
Well, I went by there, it's not far from home Rubble and ashes, the garden overgrown
Ghosts around me, soul of the place Only survivors of an age of grace
It was an age of grace and it's satisfied An age of grace, I wonder why
Time rolls on, fates are grey Say goodbye to yesterday
It was an age of grace and it's satisfied An age of grace, I wonder why
Time rolls on, fates are grey Say goodbye to yesterday
Age of grace, age of grace
