A man I knew

Died too young

And in the end

His song unsung

He touched my life

He touched my soul

Given time he'd reach his goal

An original man that I knew

An original man right through

A sadness hidden

Behind his gaze

Before his time

In many ways

People copy,

Take and steal

But my friend he was for real

An original man that I knew

An original man right through

Time gives

And takes away

Everybody has their day

Even now

I see your face

You never left without a trace

An original man that I knew

An original man right through
