Billy Joel - Only A Man lyrics

Only a man whose broken can appreciate the awful thing I feel

Only a man whose world is always real can never know

And who could understand the all consuming pain

Only a man whose weeping in the rain knows where to go

And it's not easy when you realize that you were on your own

No no, it's not easy when you face the thought of living all alone

Only a man who wanders through the emptiness through every passing day

This is the man whose eyes know what to see and what to say

And who could ever know the feeling in my heart

Only a man whose hopes and he's all broken all apart

And it's not easy when you reach out in the dark to touch a face

No no, it's not easy when instead you touch a pilgrim in a face

Na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na

Na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na

Na na na na na na na na na

And it's not easy when you think about the way she combs her hair

No no, it's not easy when the memory up there is everywhere

Only a man who lies awake & wonders will he never smile again

And this is the only man whose lonely nights can never end

And if you want to know a kind of man he'll be

Oh this is my friend I'll tell you why you'll have to know it's me

And it's not easy, no no, it's not easy

Oh, it's not easy, why, no, why, well it's not easy

No, tell me, no, no, no
