THE BALLAD OF A MAN


 The sun keeps going down, no ones ever around,



 No one talks to me no more, I see my body on the 
 Floor,


 The days and nights run into tomorrow, a little 
 Laughter, And some sorrow.


 Tears and crying in a world of pain, my mother went  
 Away Before spring was awake,


 My dad's been gone since I was a little boy,
 Laughter And Joy in between my sorrow.


 Songs that ring inside my head remind me of things 
 From Yesterday and friends,


 I started out a little boy, grew to a man who wonders 
 Where he's going.


 Brothers and sisters all over the place, I see their  
 Faces, Do they have the same names,


I travel my own road of life, three children I love  
 And an ex-wife I have never even liked,


This is a Ballad of a man who loved and cared, he did in  
 His life, all that he can.
