| I am a man |
| I’ve been working all my days |
| This is my accounting |
| Of my means and of my ways |
| More years are behind me now |
| Than years that are ahead |
| Looking back I feel |
| This is my story to be said |
| I faced my father down |
| Inside the hallway of our home |
| 18 years of pain |
| Upon my body to the bone |
| Demons lived inside of him |
| They forced him to the act |
| The layers of the bruises |
| To my body was the fact |
| Ooooh ooooh |
| I grew and went in to the world |
| I learned to know its code |
| Of spoken and unspoken |
| And I learned to love the road |
| I shoulder every burden |
| A mule with a heavy pack |
| Every coin I earn’s another |
| Knot within my back |
| Ecstasy and pleasure come |
| At much too great a cost |
| I keep myself upon the earth |
| But measure what I’ve lost |
| Winged things they brush against me |
| Never mine to hold |
| I keep my eyes upon the ground |
| And carry on as old |
| Ooooh ooooh |
| I knew a woman |
| She had the gifted touch |
| Her hands were wise with healing |
| And with wonder and all such |
| As the fates would have it |
| Each to others we are wed |
| Confine ourselves to friendship |
| We stay out of the bed |
| Now I turn around to face |
| The spectre of my age |
| My soul it fights my body |
| Like a bird will fight its cage |
| I see that last horizon |
| I hope it brings me peace |
| I look forward to the day |
| At last my body knows release |
| Ooooh ooooh |
| Ooooh ooooh |
