Lonely Storyteller

[Verse] In a cabin so small Hidden by the tall pines An old man tells his tales But no one comes to hear his lines [Verse] He whispers to the wind Stories of long ago Legends of the past That nobody will know [Chorus] Nothing sadder than this truth A storyteller with no crowd Words that fall like leaves Silent but so loud [Verse] He waits by the firelight Pages worn and gray But shadows on the walls Are the only ones who stay [Verse] The path is overgrown Lost in time's embrace No footsteps on the road No familiar face [Chorus] Nothing sadder than this truth A storyteller so alone With tales that will be lost In a voice never known
