Lyrics
Tale Of A 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.
It's been forty days and nights
Since I heard you
Girl, I cannot bring myself
To ask you why
It's a fact that your not here
I ain't accusing you
I only seek the simple answer from the sky
CHORUS
See the circle spinnin' round
Changing colors without a sound
Helter, skelter, doomsday plan
It's just another tale of a man
Lay me down, lay me down
In your heaven
I can really see
Everything quite clear
I can almost reach your hand
Enough to touch you
Girl, I'll have you safe and sound within a year
CHORUS
See the circle spinnin' round
Changing colors without a sound
Helter, skelter, doomsday plan
It's just another tale of a man
SOLO
It's been forty days and nights
Since I heard you
Girl, I cannot bring myself
To ask you why
It's a fact that your not here
I ain't accusing you
I only seek the simple
answer from the sky
CHORUS
See the circle spinnin' round
Changing colors without a sound
Helter, skelter, doomsday plan
It's just another tale of a man
