lyrics

Come inside my friend
And grab a chair
Let me tell you about
The man who wasn’t there
He spent his days alone
Sweeping up the past
A life away from everything
Had come along at last

His friends had all moved on
Chasing what they’re running from
The world they left behind
Never seemed to get along
In his hands he carried
All the damage he had done
Then he slowly let it all go
As he walked into the sun

Why do you look so worried
He’s doing fine
Have you seen the latest pictures of his life
They’re up online
I’d heard that he was looking for
A life without a care
So we left it all to meet him
But the man we came to see
Was never there

Another quiet night
Staring at the sky
Another lazy day
Slowly passes by
The Winter birds return
Riding on the breeze
Watching his reflection as they
Hide among the trees

A fire in the corner burns away the cold
He’d like to go on living
But he’s tired of being old
A picture on a wall hides a troubled past
The ruined house in black and white
Is finally coloured in at last

Why do you look so worried
He’s doing fine
Have you seen the latest pictures of his life
They’re up online
I’d heard that he was looking for
A life without a care
So we left it all to meet him
But the man we came to see
Was never there
