lyrics

I once heard a joke when nobody laughed
About an old man that's always in last
I saw my reflection in his cold dead face
If I can't pinch myself awake

I was knew a man who always done right
In the middle of the darkness he's burning so bright
Never once did I meet a man so loved
From the depths of rock bottom to them gates above

Can't keep on askin' why
When he follows me everywhere I go
It's something that's holding me back
It's the man I will not know

I'll tell you a story that's the same as mine
About an old fool who's just doing his time
His eyes bare naked as they took him down
Now I don't see him no more, he's no longer around

Can't keep on askin' why
When he follows me everywhere I go
It's something that's holding me back
It's the man I will not know

I once knew a man who lost in the rain
Everything that he'd do he'd hide with his pain
Them things he'd done cost him to burn
This unknown lost, done left for his turn

Can't keep on askin' why
When he follows me everywhere I go
It's something that's holding me back
It's the man I did not know
