Lyrics
Have You Seen The Man
Verse 1
Have you seen the man sitting all alone?
Have you seen the man talking on his own?
Have you seen the man just staring into space?
Seeing and hearing something, in the world he's living in
Have you seen the man just laughing hysterically?
Tickled by the wind or something we can't see
Have you seen the man just frightened like a child?
Who just lost his mother in a busy crowded street
Chorus 1
I want to understand, I'll try and be your friend
But how do I get through to you when I cannot comprehend?
What has brought you to this place? Why are you this way?
Something made you cross that line
To a different time & space!
Was it love? Was it money? A tragedy? Just something you just couldn't take!
Music...
Verse 2
I have seen the man in the shabbiest of clothes
But he walks like a groom in his long tailed tuxedo
Smiling at the crowd like his wedding party guest
And then suddenly starts to cry, like they've left him all alone
2nd Chorus
I wanna understand, I wanna be your friend
But how do I get through to you when I cannot comprehend?
What has brought you to this place? Why are you this way?
Something made you cross that line
To a different time & space!
Was it love? Was it money? A tragedy? Just something you just couldn't take!
Music....................
Just Something You Just Couldn't Take!
