lyrics

If you knew a man like me
With a heavy heart weighed down eternally
Whose tender fate I contemplate and think on
Whose armour plate I rest my half drunk drink on
Would you tell him what you thought most honestly?

If you knew a man like me

Down among the scented flowers. Well he lost one hundred hours
Through those gentle streets he lost a hundred more
He knew his love would last forever. Bright as gold, tough as leather
Under heaven's moon they swayed along the shore

But time was not on his side, not on her side, not on their side
Time and tide saw pride before the fall

If you knew a man like me

By the well beside the river. He was wishing that he never
Got up early just to hear the morning bell
She held everything together. He was right, she was clever
But the bell rang still as evening shadow fell

Just one love song to linger on when all the love is dead and gone
Would you tell him that was wish was Gods Just Will ?

If you knew a man like me

If you knew a man like me
With a heart of gold that anyone can see
No secrets you must look him in the eye for
No mighty dream to reach up to the sky for
Whose love is just but a faded memory

If you were a man like me
