Lyrics Duff McKagan

Duff McKagan

Man in the Meadow

Extra extra read all about my

Loss of sanity

I have often wondered what my

Life really means to me

Wasted days and broken dreams

Let it all slip away from me

And if you pick up the pieces of

A broken man, you'll find a

Fan of the family

Yeah the family

Chorus

Now you're all alone

In the meadow

Sedate your lonely soul

With the man in the meadow

No need to telephone

When you're out in the meadow

Cause you live your life alone

With the man in the meadow

And me

Saw a friend of mine

Guess he just didn't see me

Looked into his eyes

And he walked right through me

He lived a life of alibies and

Broken ties that set him free yeah

free, yeah free

And why'd this dream fade so

Fast

And why am I lookin' towards

The past to set me free

From me and my family

My family yeah yeah

Set down beside your grave

At peace with God and the holy

Slave

We're gathered here to shed

A tear

And think about our goddamn mortal

Years

You had your start

You made your mark

And then you turn around

And leave us in the dark, fuck

In the dark

Chorus
