00:13Oh, I once was a fit figure, young and tanned
00:19But it's hard when you age and become an old man
00:24People don't see you, look right through you
00:30Now I'm just a ghost, oh, the invisible man
00:39Since I got old, I entered the zone
00:43Where the ladies just laugh and I'm all alone
00:46They don't even glance like I'm just a faint breeze
00:49I wave my hands high, but they see through with ease
00:52It's a funny old game that I play every day
00:56Wishing on shadows that just drift away
00:59With a heart that's still racing, got no superpowers
01:02I can't walk through walls to smell the flowers
01:05Oh, I'm the invisible man in my own little land
01:11They can't see me, no, they don't understand
01:17I'm still a lover, a fighter, a father, a person
01:21But they don't see me, I'm the invisible man
01:33I sit in the bar where the young ones all talk
01:36But when I join in, they don't seem to take stock
01:40Forgettable whispers are all that I hear
01:43A memory of warmth turned to echoes unclear
01:46But in my heart I remember the glow
01:49The twinkle of joy, the twinkle of joy, how it used to flow
02:20I need to feel whole
02:25I'm not sure when it happened
02:27Not sure when I got old
02:31Not sure when I became the old guy
02:34That people call me now
02:36That people call me now
02:37Not sure when I lost my voice
02:40That people call me now
02:40So I cannot be heard
02:42When I became the invisible man
02:46Set apart from the hurt
02:51So here's to old men who dance in the night
02:55Invisible warriors still seeking the light
02:58But where our scars proudly let the echoes remain
03:01In the hearts hidden corners
03:03We're all human again
03:04So raise up your glasses
03:06To the ones you can't see
03:09There's magic and laughter
03:12Even if it's just me
03:17Oh, I'm the invisible man
03:19In my own little land
03:23They can't see me coming
03:25No, they don't understand
03:29I'm still a songwriter
03:31Composer of music with my own hands
03:35But they don't see me
03:40I'm the invisible man
03:48So when you walk by
03:50Oh, would you spare me a glance?
03:54Oh, don't let me dissolve in this
03:59Unchanging dance
04:01For even the invisible
04:02Oh, wants to be seen
04:06In this world full of hearts
04:10Oh, what could have been?
04:16Oh, what could have been?
04:17Oh, what could have been?
04:25What could have been?
