Lyrics
If I Was A Lonely Man
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
If I'm a lonely man, would I give the wrong insight;
That I'm struggling within my life?
If I'm a begging man, would you hold you hands back?
You're afraid that you have what I lack
And I need it back again
Don't cry
I have been watching you since
The day that I've gone
And I know that
Everyone's waiting until
I'm left on my own
Again
A man will walk up to you and ask if you will need a hand
Don't push it back, just tell him that you will need more to stand
I know this is cowardice, but I'm proud of it I'm sure
If this is heaven, then I will need a hell lot more
A hell lot more of it
So don't cry
'Cause I have been watching you since
The day that I've gone
Everyone's waiting until
I'm left on my own
A man will walk up to you and ask if you will need a hand
Don't push it back, just tell him that you will need more to stand
I know this is cowardice, but I'm proud of it I'm sure
If this is heaven, then I will need a hell lot more
A hell lot more
So don't cry
'Cause I have been watching you since
The day that I've gone
Everyone's waiting until
I'm left on my own
