Lyrics:
There's a cardigan sweater on an old wooden hanger, In the back of the closet at the end of the hall. My grandfather wore it for thirty-five years, now he don't wear it at all. He sits in the shade at the end of his journey, In a home for the tired, the old and confused. So (tell me) where have they hidden the soul of the man I once knew? [Chorus:] Where is the giant who lived in his body? Where is the mountain that he stood upon? It's hard to believe as I sit here and hold him, How mountains will crumble and yesterday's gone. There's a picture in Salem (Faded old photo) of a dashing young cowboy (soldier), Dressed to the nines for a night on the town. That's him in the middle, surrounded by people who Lit up when he came around. So where are the angels sent down to protect him, Am I all that's left of his life? Are we two hearts together, the young and the weary, Fading one beat at a time? [Chorus:] There's a corner in Heaven for callused old heroes, A place where a good man can finally rest. Paid for by promises, toil and tears, By a soul who did only his best. So we sit here together, knowin' that train's a-coming, And Heaven's just one stop away. I savor the gift of his hand on my shoulder, Here at the end of the day. [Chorus:] Where is the giant who lived in his body? Where is the mountain that he stood upon? It's hard to believe as I sit here and hold him, How mountains will crumble and yesterday's gone. Oh, it's hard to believe as I sit here and hold him, How mountains will crumble and yesterday's gone.
