Man In You

Your yellow eyes and fleeting hands

The memory of running wild

A verdant heart at your command

I love you first, I was a child

I crawled for love, I carried you

A precious burden for the young

With time, you faded to a memory

A name forgotten on my tongue (oh)

When history repeats itself

To teach us, fool us, to beguile

I stand before you once again

I am not old - I'm not a child

Isn't there a man in you?

Oh, there is a man in me

I can see the woman in you

Isn't there a man there too?

I ask him to lay down again

To reap what he had left to grow

But my first love is too ashamed

And gone's the man from long ago

Oh, you seem the same, but there's no fire

Like someone's had the best of you

But it's too soon to lose and tire

When love's supposed to make you new (ah)

But my love's got a troubled mind

Confuses earthly power with God

Denies the nature of his kind

Denies the body, numb and flawed

(Is there still a man in you?)

Is there still a man in you?

Oh, 'cause there's a man in me

I can see the woman in you

Is there still a man there too?

It's not showing on the outside

But inside I'm just like you

If there's still a man in you

In you, in you, in you, in you, in you
