[Verse]

There was a ma

n back in '9

Whose heart ran out of summers
              
But before he 

        
died I asked h

im

Wait what's the sense in life
             
Come over me C

     
ome over me


He said

Son why you got to sing that tune

Catch a Dylan song or some eclipse of the moon
          
Let an angel s

wing and make 

you swoon
             
Then you will 

            
see You will s
