I wouldn't listen and I couldn't see
|
And all I have left now are words you said to me,
|
Sing your song sweet music man,
|
'cos I won't be there to hold your hand like I used to,
|
I'm thro' with you.
|
|
You're a hell of a singer and a powerful man
|
But you surround yourself
|
With people who demand so little of you.
|
|
You touched my soul with your beautiful song,
|
You even had me singing along right with you,
|
You said I need.
|
|
Then you changed the words and added harmony
|
And you sang the song you had written for me
|
To someone new.
|
|
But nobody sings a love song quite like you do
|
And nobody else could make me sing along
|
And nobody else could make me feel
|
That things are right when I know they're wrong
|
(that things are right when you're wrong with the song)
|
Nobody sings a love song quite like you.
|
|
Sing your song sweet music man
|
You travel the world with a six piece band
|
That does for you what you ask 'em to.
|
|
And you try to stay young
|
But the songs you've sung to so many people
|
They've all begun to come back on you.
|
|
So sing your song sweet music man,
|
You're making your living doing one night stands,
|
That prove to you they don't need you.
|
|
You're still a hell of a singer but a broken man,
|
But you're keep on looking for one last fan
|
To sing 'em to.
|
|
But nobody sings...
|
So sing your song sweet music man
|
I believe in you.
