The Old and the Young Lyrics

Time will have warranted all that the foliage brung
Falls to the ground at the feet of The Old and the Young
Tired and worn from a life made of wallow and pain
Of what will be made is all that remains at the core

Bear the old and the young
Time will have warranted
All that the foliage brung
So bear the old and the young

Awoke from a long one that came on the heels of a day
Where sun would arise and then grant us the kindness of ray
Fields full of gladness surrounded by droves that await
And look for the grave in everything adorn

Bear the old and the young
Time will have warranted
All that the foliage brung
So bear the old and the young

Bear the old and the young
Time will have warranted
All that the foliage brung
Bear the old and the young
Time will have warranted
All that the foliage brung
So bear the old and the young

The Old and the Young

This song tackles the notion of aging with grace. The accompanying music video was directed by Ollie Murray (The Horrors, The Vaccines) in Hillesden, Buckinghamshire on the sheep farm he grew up on. The clip also features Jon Campling - who appeared in the last two Harry Potter movies as the leader of the Death Eaters - as the hermit.
