Taylor John Williams - Song of a Dead Man lyrics

[Verse 1] He came to the light of the sun in ‘55 A time when a man would look you in the eye And now he lay by the lady who he gave his name Through the winds of the winter and the summer rain But alive in the only way it really means to be Now come on black rider won't you ride along with me? He came to the people in the year i came to be And sang hallelujah til' he sank into the sea And now he lay in a corner where nobody knows Where the graces will follow anywhere he goes And alive in the only way it really means to be Now come on holy writer won't you sing along with me? [Chorus] See there's a hurry that don't wait up For the fool who's taking time And there's a fury that don't let up For the ruler in the sky And there's something i don't quite understand There's something about the song of a dead man [Verse 2] It's strange how the living don't seem to live at all A ghost has a way of making all of this seem small And now i lay in the shadow of the ones who shown Like a flame in the night of long ago But alive with a heart beat beating away indeed Now come on versifier don't you put that fire on me Come on versifier don't you put that fire on me [Chorus] See there's a hurry that don't wait up For the fool who's taking time And there's a fury that don't let up For the ruler in the sky And there's something i don't quite understand There's something about the song of a dead man [Bridge] Where did you go? Above or below? Maybe between Whatever that means [Chorus] There's a hurry that don't wait up For the fool who's taking time There's a fury that don't let up For the ruler in the sky And there's something i don't quite understand There's something about the song of a dead man
