Lyrics My Man Go - Two Gallants

My Man Go

My man go, my man come,
shake my love, leave me numb,
just enough to carry on.
I knew him once, so I thought
and what was then, now is not,
all the love is dead and gone.
Oh, where did I go wrong?
But in the ruins of my mind
I can still pretend.
Close my eyes, see my life as it could have been.
My man breathe, my man eat,
I wake up and watch him sleep.
where went all those lovely days?
He always said he’d never make
the same mistakes his father made.
I guess some things you can’t escape
but I hope it’s not too late.
But in the ruins of my mind
I can still pretend.
Close my eyes, see my life as it could have been.
