Well I knew an old man, he told a tale
Of when he was a young blood and not old and frail
He did tell me of one grand place
A station and a homestead in an age of grace
He spoke of daylight when twenty men
Would leave the main yards, their mobs tend
And in the evening fires burned bright
Down in the quarters, laughter in the night
It was an age of grace and it's passed us by
An age of grace, oh I wonder why
Time rolls on, fades to grey
Say goodbye to yesterday
And in the big house where plans went down
They thought about their people
When they'd talk about their pounds
Everybody had their own place
Part of the picture in an age of grace
It was an age of grace and it's passed us by
An age of grace, oh I wonder why
Time rolls on and fades to grey
Say goodbye to yesterday
Well I went by there, it's not far from home
Rubble and ashes, the garden overgrown
Ghosts surround me, soul of the place
Only survivors of an age of grace
It was an age of grace and it's passed us by
An age of grace, oh I wonder why
Time rolls on, fades to grey
Say goodbye to yesterday
It was an age of grace and it's passed us by
An age of grace, oh I wonder why
Time rolls on and fades to grey
Say goodbye to yesterday
Age of grace
Age of grace
