Only A Man

Use A− / A+ to adjust text size
Only a man whose broken can appreciate the awful thing I feelOnly a man whose world is always real can never knowAnd who could understand the all consuming painOnly a man whose weeping in the rain knows where to goAnd it's not easy when you realize that you were on your ownNo no, it's not easy when you face the thought of living all aloneOnly a man who wanders through the emptiness through every passing dayThis is the man whose eyes know what to see and what to sayAnd who could ever know the feeling in my heartOnly a man whose hopes and he's all broken all apartAnd it's not easy when you reach out in the dark to touch a faceNo no, it's not easy when instead you touch a pilgrim in a faceAnd it's not easy when you think about the way she combs her hairNo no, it's not easy when the memory up there is everywhereOnly a man who lies awake & wonders will he never smile againAnd this is the only man whose lonely nights can never endAnd if you want to know a kind of man he'll beOh this is my friend I'll tell you why you'll have to know it's meAnd it's not easy, no no, it's not easyOh, it's not easy, why, no, why, well it's not easyNo, tell me, no, no, no
