From the recording Like a Viking
Two lonely lives intersect by chance, proving that love sometimes arrives quietly and late, but right on time.
Lyrics
She walked the streets with a quiet grace
Carrying her past in the lines of her face
He worked the docks, the river his guide
Holding his worries and swallowing pride
Both lived alone, worlds apart
With empty rooms and heavy hearts
They passed each other without a glance
Two lonely souls in a world of chance
But life has a way of twisting the plan
Of bringing together what fate never ran
Miss Old Lady, Old Man River
Two wandering hearts, learning to deliver
From indifference to sparks, from quiet to shine
Love found a way through the passage of time
Miss Old Lady, Old Man River
Together at last, in a world that forgives her
A broken-down bus, a storm in the night
A stranger’s kindness that felt so right
They shared a laugh, a story, a tear
And slowly, the walls began to clear
He taught her to row, she taught him to see
That life isn’t always what it seems to be
Through small gestures, soft smiles, gentle talk
Their separate lives learned to walk the same block
From strangers to friends, from friends to more
Two hearts collided on a hidden shore
Miss Old Lady, Old Man River
Two wandering hearts, learning to deliver
From indifference to sparks, from quiet to shine
Love found a way through the passage of time
Miss Old Lady, Old Man River
Together at last, in a world that forgives her
All the lonely nights, all the roads they roamed
Led them together, led them home
No grand designs, no perfect plan
Just a hand to hold and a heart to stand
Miss Old Lady, Old Man River
Two wandering hearts, learning to deliver
From indifference to sparks, from quiet to shine
Love found a way through the passage of time
Miss Old Lady, Old Man River
Together at last, in a world that forgives her
They found each other when the world looked away
And held on tight, come whatever may
Miss Old Lady, Old Man River
Two hearts, one journey, forever together
