Pearls Before Swine
There Was A Man
There was a man came to our townHe wore a suit of redHe memorized with secret eyesThat he hid away in his headHe had a scar upon his headWhere there used to be a crownBut he sold his robes at the five and tenAnd lived on the edge of townThat fall he showed us a magic leafThat he could change to snowHe bought it partly with his griefAnd partly with his soulHe scattered seeds in the alley wayHe never seemed to restAnd when you went to ask him whyAll he ever said was yesHe made a swan from waving grassBeside a crystal shoreAnd a sunrise spun from broken glassAnd many things wondrous moreBut then his hands began to burnWhen he heard the news from the warWhen we cannot find each other he saidThen we can't run away any moreNext day with tears along his faceLetras de cancionesHe passed us on the hillNo one thought to ask him to stayAnd he knows that we never willThere was a man came to our townHe wore a suit of redHe memorized with secret eyesThat he hid away in his head
