Lyrics

The Man

Walk me out by the water's edge

Oh, my brother I'm coming down

We are young

We are almost there

And the man keeps coming 'round

I don't know who was right

Or what they saw in you that night

But here we are under moonlight

Words cannot describe

Walk me out in the morning sun

Oh, sweet momma I'm coming down

We are young

We are almost there

And the man keeps coming 'round

And I don't know who was right

Or what they saw in you that night

But here we are under moonlight

Words cannot describe

It's clear to me

You're like

The oceans and the light

Try and you'll remember what you used to be

It's clear to me, this day will take you for a ride

A place that you once longed to be

And there it is...

I don't know who was right

Or what they saw in you that night

But here we are under moonlight

Words...cannot...

Words...

Walk me out

By the water's edge

Oh, my brother I'm coming down

We were young

We are almost there

And the man keeps coming 'round

The man keeps coming
