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!
