Feist - A Man Is Not His Song lyrics

A man is not his song A song is a promise If a man is just his song Then the song is beyond us How we make it up And it sends in deep elation Eventually it can let you down By believing in standing ovation Song won't lift up if Made by revenge so sweet I will will it To add up to more than you or me 'Cause a man is not his song And I'm not a story But I wanna sing along If he's singing it for me That filament that flies by And it brings yellow light From those yellow summers back By coconut palm and snowy pine I've heard years pa** Through my ears to hear otherwise They all believe in old melodies I carry tunes around like they carry me A man is not his song Though we all wanna sing along We all heard those old melodies Like they're singing right to me More than a melody's needed More than a melody's needed More than a melody's needed More than a melody's needed More than a melody's needed More than a melody's needed More than a melody's needed More than a melody's needed More than a melody's needed More than a melody's needed More than a melody's needed More than a melody's needed More than a melody's needed More than a melody's needed More than a melody's needed More than a melody's needed More than a melody's needed More than a melody's needed More than a melody's needed More than a melody's needed More than a melody's needed More than a melody's needed More than a melody's needed More than a melody's needed More than a melody's needed
