Simon Joyner - Fearful Man lyrics

The magazine needs flippin' through The calendar needs tearing too The dry veins in the brown leaves start to cry And you've got old man's hands to weigh Anniversaries to celebrate Purple lips to part in a heart to ransack Every step you take is writ Down in a great book you envision Somewhere off in the clouds where they know you're pure A sick shadow is hanging low She holds your secret just to let it go And you've never stabbed a villain in the back before You're a fearful man Your hands shake And your eyes dance along the landscape Looking for the best next place to run Into a ditch or a dead end Through the alley or out on Main To the epicenter or to the sun
