How It Can Be

See the blood on the magazine
See the shot on the record machine
Oh, it cannot be so bad
Oh, but I feel so sad about it now

Black marble in the ivory tower
This years model and the man of the hour
Oh, it don't mean a thing
Even the birds they all refuse to sing about it now

An u-u-u-u-unhappy, lonely man
If I thought you wouldn't understand
Just how it can be, no, don't say it's just me
Well, you know, you know, you know how it can be

With my baby right under my arm
Leave the city go back to the farm
Oh, we'll be alone at last
Oh, and that sky will pass below the sun

Keep me baby in the pale moonlight
'Neath the willow, sweet by and by
Oh, I can see it now
Oh, I can feel just how they'll be no one

An u-u-u-u-unhappy, lonely man
If I thought you wouldn't understand
Just how it can be, no, don't say it's just me
Well, you know, you know, you know how it can be
Well, you know, you know, you know how it can be
Well, you know, you know how it can be
