Allan Taylor - Rubenstein Remembers

There's an old man in the park

Sometimes sits till after dark

Old men often don't say much

Rubenstein is just one such

But if you sit with him awhile

He will talk and sometimes smile

Rubenstein remembers

Long ago Septembers, long ago

They say he came from Germany

A poor hard-working family

Jewish tailors don't get rich

But they sew a close close stitch

He wanted to be left alone

Raise a family, build a home

He didn't want to stand in line

A yellow star is David's sign

Rubenstein remembers

But he will not say

Where he was or what he did

All those years he went away

Rubenstein remembers

But his voice is still

He pulls his coat around him

As he feels a sudden chill

And walks away
