There's a man

there's a man who died
before he could love me
there's a man who died
before he could taste the salt on my skin
before he could whisper sweet nothings into my mouth
there's a man who died...just yesterday

there's a man who died
before he could wake me up in the morning light
there's a man who died
before he could wet his lips with my coffee cup
before he could comfort me in my darkest hour
there's a man who died...just yesterday

when his head hit the ground there was no sound
when his blood stained the street, it burned crimson
like petals in the moonlight, shining deep
like minutes slipped by, but hours ran on
when his head hit the ground there was no sound
when his head hit the ground there was no sound

there's a man who died
before he could lie with me on autumn nights
there's a man who died
before he could caress my thoughts
before he could live in my heart's breath
there's a man who died...before i could sing him this song
