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
