Why sing a lonely song?
The whole world knows that love goes wrong
Why loose a heart that isnt broken?
It isnt broken, it cant be broken
Lifes just a show for free
Come along and watch with me
The only sins are words unspoken
Words unspoken, never spoken
Sweet things come and go
Give me shame, Ill give you wow
To live for love isnt so easy
It isnt easy, it wont be easy!
How all good men try
Look around and wonder why
Can they shape this world to please me
Can they please me, should they please me?
I follow but maybe youll correct me
I wish youd never met me
For I am your gentle man
I follow and while you watch and wonder
I call my world a sundown
And show you who I am
Send me a gentle dream
Of love so strange its never seen
And proof how such a love can happen
It can happen, make it happen
Fine things tumble down
Fade away without a sound
But hope must never end or slacken
Never slacken, never slacken
I follow but maybe youll correct me
I wish youd never met me
I am your gentle man
I follow and while you watch and wonder
I call my world a sundown
And show you who I am
