Actually, this song is originally from the album Whose Garden Was This. It was added to Spirit in 1999 as a bonus track (Along with the entire side B of WGWT) when it was digitally remastered for the CD.

The purity of his voice .... like a mature choir boy ... perfection.(The piano banging to signify the ticking of the clock is HORRID! HORRID!)

This song was originally a song by Jacques Brel called "Les Vieux". It was written by Jacques Brel, Gerard Jouannest and Jean Corti, and this English version was written by Eric Blau and Mort Shuman. This version was written for Elly Stone to sing in a revue called "Jacques Brel Is Alive And Well".
