There Was a Man |
There was a man came to our town |
He wore a suit of red |
He memorized with secret eyes |
That he hid away in his head |
He had a scar upon his head |
Where there used to be a crown |
But he sold his robes at the five and ten |
And lived on the edge of town |
That fall he showed us a magic leaf |
That he could change to snow |
He bought it partly with his grief |
And partly with his soul |
He scattered seeds in the alley way |
He never seemed to rest |
And when you went to ask him why |
All he ever said was yes |
He made a swan from waving grass |
Beside a crystal shore |
And a sunrise spun from broken glass |
And many things wondrous more |
But then his hands began to burn |
When he heard the news from the war |
When we cannot find each other he said |
Then we can’t run away any more |
Next day with tears along his face |
He passed us on the hill |
No one thought to ask him to stay |
And he knows that we never will |
There was a man came to our town |
He wore a suit of red |
He memorized with secret eyes |
That he hid away in his head |
