The Poet And The One Man Band

I can see a worried man
Paper still white, he's on a journey that will never end
He's got the message, needing words, but doesn't understand
The poet and the one man band
No one seems to know
Why life has run so low
I can see a silly man
Dreaming of a perfect love, a starry sky romance
Living on an island, doesn't really understand
The poet is a one man band
Left alone to cry
Poets never live until they die
Life seems but a joke
Love re-mending hearts that broke
Isn't it a strange thing too
All the words inside of you
Couldn't possibly explain why you feel it's all been said before
Spending your days alone and closing all doors
Too far beyond your eyes you think
But coming out you find they haven't gone
So take your stand
You'll see they all have come
To join the one man band
