Ashen features unmistakably your own

Familiar posture, recast in skin and bone

As the ancient one cranes his neck to look

You must honor and respect the older fellow

Though you're strong

He was wise

There is much you can learn from the sage
         C majorC                 D7D7
And though you'll leave and travel back to your own age
     Dm7Dm7       F minorFm   C majorC   D7D7
You will meet again, you two in 2082


Chorus:
       F#dim7F#dim7           F minorFm
What was the look he gave intended to convey?
     C majorC                D7D7
Was there something else he was trying to say?
    Dm7Dm7        F minorFm    C majorC
It will all be revealed to you in 2082
