Jump, Little Children – Dark And Lonely Man lyrics

dark and lonely, lonely man
"turn around pick a door and take your chance"
the innocent breeze whispered in his ear
"promises, promises..." the old man leered
dark and lonely, lonely man
"take a bud from my side" the thin vine cried
the sinuous growth nestled in his hair
"let me go, let me be" the man despairs
dark and lonely, lonely man
"where have you been?" the old tree began
"I have never known fear except for you, sad friend"
"I can't move, I can't move" he said, about the bend
Light foot footstep shadow long secrets
cover your face with your hats and your sequins
light foot footstep shadow long gone
cover your face when you're singing that song
light foot footstep shadow long secrets
cover your face with your hats and your sequins
light foot footstep shadow long gone
cover your face when you're singing that song
dark and lonely, lonely man
"taste of my fruit if you only can"
said the patient tree made of elephant wood,
"I'm not hungry, won't eat, and I'm gone for good"
dark and lonely, lonely man
"will you ever smile?" said the breeze again
"someday I think you will if you let us in"
"I'll try, I'll try" he whispered again
light foot footstep shadow long secrets
cover your face with your hats and your sequins
light foot footstep shadow long gone
cover your face when you're singing that songlight foot footstep shadow long secrets
cover your face with your hats and your sequins
light foot footstep shadow long gone
cover your face when you're singing that song
dark and lonely, lonely man
"turn around pick a door and take your chance"
the innocent breeze whispered in his ear
"promises, promises..." the old man leered
light foot footstep shadow long secrets
cover your face with your hats and your sequins
light foot footstep shadow long gone
cover your face when you're singing that songlight foot footstep shadow long secrets
cover your face with your hats and your sequins
light foot footstep shadow long gone
cover your face when you're singing that songlight foot footstep shadow long secrets
cover your face with your hats and your sequins
light foot footstep shadow long gone
cover your face when you're singing that songlight foot footstep shadow long secrets
cover your face with your hats and your sequins
light foot footstep shadow long gone
cover your face when you're singing that song
