Closer she smiled telling me not to worry
I said I didn't know and I don't now But I won't let you fall if you come down
Oh she was waiting On the wine dark sea with skinny lips of salt she said
Better to give to thee Then to all the senators in the hall
And we oh oh oh for knowing all That I never knew
Oh oh oh for knowing all That I never knew
well the suitors been complaining, it's a bitter taste of man
i seen them eating and drinking and vying for her hand
i seen her walking too up the widow's walk
i tell her to keep it on i tell her don't give up
cause i swear that he's coming and just wait a little more time
there's been a dead reckoning with the government and they think they know the plan
they're drawing all their lots to see who's the better man
and then the winner come and grabs her in stride
takes her to bed and makes her their bride
but (i reckon) he gonna come home and see you makin it with his wife
i've seen the blood escaping man do not overlook him if you can
i've seen the blood escaping man do not overlook him
in her heart she holds the candle that guides her through the night
she came to me in secret and whispered at first light
please madame for all your beauty its not me you want
i saw a bum in town who's body leaves no blood
today as the suitors come there'll be a ragged beggar behind
i've seen the blood escaping man do not overlook him if you can
I seen the Blood Escaping Man But do not overlook him in your
heart you hold the light that leads you do not over look him it is your man
