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
