Just a Man

Sky is clear tonight
Sky is clear tomorrow
A star is out
I reach for one to sparkle in my hand
A star is out
I will not touch you, I am just a man
Sky is clear tonight
Sky is clear tomorrow
— And every night I shut my eyes
So I don’t have to see the light
Shining so bright
I’ll dream about a cloudy sky, a cloudy sky
Man was born to love —
Though often he has sought
Like Icarus, to fly too high.
And far too lonely than he ought
To kiss the sum of east and west
And hold the world at his behest —
To hold the terrible power
To whom only gods are blessed —
But me, I am just a man
— And every night I shut my eyes
So I don’t have to see the light
Shining so bright
I’ll dream about a cloudy sky, a cloudy sky
And every night I shut my eyes
But now I’ve got them open wide
You’ve fallen into my hands
And now you’re burning me You’re burning me
