Lyrics Singing Man - Magnus, Mark Lanegan

Singing Man

What the hell is going on in the air
There’s a lonely cry and a muffled cheer
People come from miles around
Just to hear the sound and then disappear
Behind the microphone in the dark alone
All flesh and bones
And when the band begins
He’s like a king right on his throne
And when the man comes singing
It sounded better then other nights
The night that I first heard his voice
And I was only thinking
It touched me more then I thought it might
It shifted to white light
It comes from a different time
From a different place
Of love and grace
People come from miles around
Just to hear the sound
Ringing up for days
Just believe it
You will receive it
Without asking at all
Cause there on the stage
Oh lovely days it teases your soul
No asking at all
And when the man comes singing
It sounded better then other nights
The night that I first heard his voice
And I was only thinking
It touched me more then I thought it might
It shifted to white light
This love ain’t rich
Coming from the singing man
Just believe it
You will receive it
Without asking at all
Cause there on the stage
Oh lovely days it teases your soul
No asking at all
And when the man comes singing
It sounded better then other nights
The night that I first heard his voice
And I was only thinking
It touched me more then I thought it might
It shifted to white light
