GENTLE MAN

Gentle man I've missed you
Guess I've been down too long
All my thoughts are simpler
As time goes rolling on
And I have walked a mile or two
I'm tired and I'm weak
I tuck my feet up under me
And listen as you speak

Of gentleness we all could know
And dying 'cause you love them so
And rain comes out and hides your fear
And you're alone for years and years

Gentle man you know me
You know I'm not so strong
You know I'm doing all I can
So why am I so wrong
And people tell me I'll believe
That I will understand
But no one tells me how it is
I can't love a bad man

And what's the lie
And what's the show
And where's the games I thought to know
And there's the lie
Here comes the fear
And you're alone for years and years

Gentle man I've missed you
Oh I've missed you
Gentle man
