I can only lead
as far as I know how.
I can only fly
on the wind that blowing.
I’m no alibi,
I’m a knot in your throat
when you try to speak
those saving syllables.
I’ve been weak,
weaker than you need.
Stronger than you deserve,
but life’s funny like that.
Ask all you want,
for the Man in The Moon,
but he’s gone, baby, gone;
has been for a long time.
Guess these days
would make anyone bitter,
but your eyes still shine
and your smile still glitters.
You’re a great many things,
but you ain’t no quitter;
You’re one of the strong ones.
I love you
more and more
everyday.
The failure that I am
dies in the night.
I guess I never told you,
that The Man in The Moon
and I;
we move in the same circles.
