Measure Of A Man

from When We Talk About Love by The Night Gardener

/

lyrics

I lost her in the wilderness
It's sad, but it's a fact
Another girl, another girl is gone

She had high expectations
Oh, they were just never met
I'm just a man, I'm just a man, I'm trapped

I keep my lines empty
Serve myself cold
Everything's clear and I can sing from the bone

I live in a woman's world
It's mad, but it's true
You've got a grip on me
You've got a grip on me

I lost you in the wilderness
It's sad, but it's a fact
Another girl, another girl is gone

You kept me on a leash
Looking for a way into my frown
See that's the thing that I just can't allow

I wanted power over you
I wanted power over you
I wanted power over you

You wanted power over me
You wanted power over me
You wanted power over me

Give up, give up, give up...

Give me pleasure, give me love
Give me rules made to forget
Give me truth and beauty
And I'll give you all I have

What's the measure of a man?
What's the least you can expect?
What's your kingdom really worth
When there's so much disconnect?

I keep my lines empty
Serve myself cold
Everything's clear
And I can sing from the bone

I live in a woman's world
It's mad, but it's true
You've got a grip on me
I guess you never knew
