Just a Man

Just a man, made of blood and bone

Thrown away, all that was once my own

Old and worn, and tired too

Of cold so cold, and blue so blue

Endless love, washed away in the sand

Too much to lose, for just a man

In my time, never had my fill

Of broken hearts, for just a thrill

Letting my love, run through my hands

Too much to lose, for just a man

Don't put too many

Cards on this hard-headed man

Take whatever is yours

And get as far away as you can

No grey clouds, lined with silver and gold

No little boy, to watch me grow old

I play the game, as I know I can

So much to lose, for just a man

So much to ache, so much to break

Too much at stake, for just a man
