about

'Old Fortress' Is a walk down memory lane of a beautiful journey you experienced with a person for many years, but finally realizing that you must part ways- This is the final realization only in the end to wish this person the best and say fair -well

lyrics

I walked down
Old fortress
An old rugged lane
where I used to see my baby
now and again
I see passed a lofty
a pick-old fence or two
I see above the rover
and I call out to you
Hey Mama!
have you been dancin?
going around the bend
driving passed the meadow
and stuffing all your dread
a stiffed out full of pansies
a laughter that don't come through
I called once or 20
but it never came through
I used to know you
like a daisy in holding hand
a gaze and I wonder
a glowing distant glance
not a friend or a lover
like you used to be
every day in holding
gone to the weepy streets
I take care
I wonder
I hope you do to
for distance but a shoulder
and I can still feel you
so I picked up a penny
and I paid all my dues
and for all the its worth
I still love you
it was plenty for the taking
it was plenty for the wage
it was plenty for the groceries
and a new sleeping bed
and I bought all my dreams
and laid them to the trees
and whispered to softly
I wish you the best that there could be
