| You know what I thought
|
| Just how helpless I really am (Thinking about it)
|
| Oh lord, my hair is turning grey
|
| I get a new wrinkle every day
|
| Guess I’m just a mortal man
|
| Let me tell you all about it
|
| I cannot make myself live forever
|
| (Can't live forever)
|
| Oh, God knows I tried
|
| I can’t even make one little flower grow
|
| It takes water to do that, look
|
| Cull back the years, God knows I tried
|
| But the hands on the clock keep ticking on by
|
| One day young, oh Lord, and the next day you’re old
|
| Now listen to this
|
| Oh I thought I was such a super lover (Super lover)
|
| Did the best I could
|
| And from my side darling I thought you would never, never go away (Never,
|
| never go away)
|
| That’s my sole distrait
|
| And this ego of mine have been betrayed
|
| As I stared at empty walls, I found I’m no super lover at all (No super lover
|
| at all)
|
| Well, you see love built your bad, bad end
|
| Left another scar on this mortal man
|
| But let me get on with my story
|
| Now I don’t know if I’ll ever get to go to heaven
|
| Oh, but listen to me
|
| But you never know, even I, even I may get to go (Never, never, never know)
|
| Oh lord
|
| Seal the wings that I could grow
|
| I’ll leave this human skin all far down below
|
| And say goodbye, goodbye world to being a mortal man (Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye)
|
| But listen to me
|
| But in the mean time I’m still down here doing the best I can
|
| Chained, chained, chained, chained to being just a mortal man
|
| Can you hear me singin'?
|
| Oh lord, guess I’m just a mortal man |
