Withered Man

Let so much of life pass you by, too bad there is no second try Final moments and final words, second chance sung out by southbound birds By southbound birds Broken hearts don't break your stride, feel each pull like the ebbing tide Don't be afraid, you aren't alone. Southbound birds will take you home. Take you home... Chorus Oh withered man now don't you lie They won't let your convictions die One more duty and then take flight Oh withered man now don't you lie Hammer lays in the final nails, as your wings are setting sail Free and clear of the waking world, sail on dreams with the southbound birds Southbound birds Solo/chorus Go withered man, go now proud! Sail away into southbound clouds Don't look back but say goodbye, in death you'll find your second try Second try....
