lyrics

Less than a man, more than a myth,
With an ounce of integrity,
The downhearted bard, vacant and sad,
Pursued by a black cloud, following a red balloon,
Despondent, narrating the problems,
You told me to carry on, even when you’re gone,

Messy Brown hair, an old woollen hat,
Hiding a troubled gaze,
Jack of all trades and master of all,
Fool to the hoards, but king to the very few,
He warned us, but no one would listen,
And I wept like a child mourning a friend I never had,

You painted pictures with modesty,
But we will never see the anguish inside of you,
And you taught me about honesty,
When I couldn’t be honest with myself,

I’ve never sailed across the seas,
But I’d go to see a wall,
Painted in black and red, prayers that will never be sent,
A wall of sentiment, a victim of vandals,
And I’d visit the city of roses,
But I’m seven years too young,
And nine years too late,
Too late to try and hold your hand.
