SONG: OLD MAN TIME ARTIST: KATE RUSBY TAB BY: DON CZARSKI EMAIL: OLD MAN TIME KATE RUSBY INTRO: Play the following 4x’s or a variation of this based on the C chord ---------------------------------| G ------0--------------0-------0---| D ----2----2---------2----2h3------| A --3------------------------------| ---------------------------------| VERSE: Old man time is a rare old man For a young man he’ll ever remainI With his long grey beard and his clothes are plain Oh Old Man Time is his name. As one flower dies The old man he cries The young man he plants the seeds again With a careful hand he tends the sand Oh Old Man Time is his name. VERSE: This old man has an hourglass For every soul on the land. Oh Old Man Time I have seen mine It’s the one with the fastest sand. No sooner is it turned Back through the glass it’s churned I’m wishing i could have each hour again With a careful hand he tends the sand Oh Old Man Time is his name. INSTRUMENTAL: I PLAY THE CHORDS FROM THE 2nd HALF OF THE VERSE then play INTRO 2x’s time.... VERSE: To me Old Man your time is rare Did God not give you all my sand? Or maybe mine I had to share Or is there some left in your hand? They tell me time is gold well maybe it’s been sold Or was it simply washed away in rain? With a careful hand he tends the sand Oh Old Man Time is his name. If I brought him a sack Do you think he’d put some back? I know one day across my path he’ll come But as for now I can’t say how I know that old man’s work is far from done. For Old Man Time has just begun

La chanson évoque la figure du temps personnifié, un vieil homme sage qui, malgré son apparence vieillissante, est lié à la jeunesse éternelle. Elle illustre le cycle de la vie, où la mort d'une fleur annonce la renaissance d'une nouvelle vie. Avec sa précieuse heure de sable, il rappelle que chaque instant compte et qu’il est toujours possible de semer pour un avenir meilleur, même si parfois, nous souhaitons récupérer le temps perdu. Le contexte de cette réflexion se nourrit de notre rapport au temps, souvent perçu comme une ressource précieuse et limitée. À travers des métaphores simples, l'artiste nous invite à méditer sur notre propre existence et sur la manière dont nous choisissons de vivre chaque moment. La notion de partage du temps résonne profondément, nous rappelant que, malgré sa fugacité, il y a toujours de l'espoir et un chemin à tracer.
