Song Of a Deadman letra

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 'till 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?

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
Oh, there’s something about the song of a dead man

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
And now come on, versifier don’t you put that fire on me
Come on versifier don’t you put that fire on me

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
Oh, there’s something about the song of a dead man

Where did you go?
Above or below?
Maybe between
Whatever that means

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
Oh, there’s something about the song of a dead man

Oh, there's something about the song of a dead man
