Lyrics
Rich 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.
He can buy the love he needs
Opens doors with all his keys
Takes you where the people know
Wear it like it's yours to own
Lady, when a rich man comes
Take your breath away
Burning like a million suns
Lady, walk away
Sleeps so deeply every night
Watch him like a firefly
Wonder where he's been all day
His hands are clean but he won't say
Lady, when a rich man comes
Take your breath away
Burning like a million suns
Lady, walk away
He held me like a butterfly
In Venice where the gutters shine
I think of him 'most every day
It's not love, it's a quiet pain
Lady, when a rich man comes
Take your breath away
Burning like a million suns
Lady, walk away
Barking dogs don't make a sound
You put your lover in the ground
The big old house it echoes more
Now he won't show up at all
Lady, when a rich man comes
Take your breath away
Burning like a million suns
Lady, walk away
Lady, when a rich man comes
Burning like a million suns
Lady, when a rich man comes
