Man In You

Your yellow eyes and fleeting hands
the memory of running wild
A verdant heart at your command
I loved you first - I was a child
I crawled for love, I carried you
A precious burden for the young
With time you faded to a memory
a name forgotten on my tounge
When history repeats itself
to teach us, fool us, to beguile
I stand before you once again
I am not old - I'm not a child

Isn't there a man in you
Oh, there is a man in me
I can see the woman in you
isn't there a man there too

I ask him to lay down again
to reap what he had left to grow
but my first love is too ashamed
And gone's the man from long ago
You seem the same but there's no fire
Like someone's had the best of you
but it's too soon to lose and tire
When love's supposed to make you new
But my love's got a troubled mind
Confuses earthly power with God
Denies the nature of his kind
Denies the body, numb and flawed

Is there still a man in you
Oh, 'cause there's a man in me
I can see the woman in you
is there still a man there too

It's not showing on the outside but inside I'm just like you
if there's still a man in you
