lyrics

Look at the man, as he walks round the courtyard,
Witness the way that he walks:
This walk is the walk of a man who is counting the days ‘til he dies all alone;
A man who has nothing, to live for or die for, and tonight he will be on his own

[chorus:]
The world keeps on changing as we walk around your place
And I came out there for you, but you kicked me right off the edge
But later I saw you, and tears were all over your face
And I kept them from hurting, but that doesn’t mean that,
I want you to stay right here within this house of mine.

And would you not help him, in his quest of desire,
To seek the one thing that he loves?
You could just be there for a man who has nothing, to keep him from falling apart
But whenever you leave him, the winter draws colder; the forecast is looking so dark

[chorus]

The man he sees nothing, but smoke and confusion, the way that her hair used to be.
And you should not try to, to take him up with you, where nothing he wants can be found.
You think you can tempt him, but all he can see is, the way to get back to his life.

I have to accept him, and let him find something, that stops him from looking around.
I cannot control him, but he will walk with me, perhaps I can cure him of strife.

[chorus]
