MAHOGANY AND IRON SLAT CHAIR

This wooden slat chair reminds me of a fancy looking 

park bench for one.

Echo Park

—Lyrics by Keith Barbour, Sung by Billy Joel

It's the morning soon he'll rise

Find the glasses for his eyes 

Aren't what they used to be 

Picks up the clothes he's worn so long 

On the bureau sits the picture of a lady 

And the mural of a man who've been gone for many years 

The old man walks in Echo Park 

From bench to bench he moves from morning till dark 

For the ducks, some bread he brings 

Wonder if he'll feed them this time next spring 

Listenin' to the children play 

Reminds him of other days, many years ago

Thoughts of a child that he held prone 

And the memory of a letter 

Saying dear Sir, We regret to inform you 

your son will not be coming home 

The old man walks in Echo Park 

From bench to bench he moves from morning till dark 

For the ducks, some bread he brings 

Wonder if he'll feed them this time next spring 

Old man, tell me are there fears 

Do you measure life in years 

Or is one day all you'll ever know I got to know! 

The old man walks in Echo Park 

From bench to bench he moves from morning till dark
