ballad of the mighty i

i followed you down to the end of the world

to wait outside your window

in the heat of the rain i will call your name

but you just passed me by

if you put me up like a fly on the wall

then you'll be to blame when the heavens fall

give me a sign that you hear me call

but you just pass me by

the colours around me are fading away

but i'll be waiting come what may

i'll find you. yes i'll find you. if i've got to be the man who walks the earth alone. i followed the stars and i sailed to the sun

i held it in my fingers

alone on the beach on my own out of reach

when you just passed me by

i'd give you the world if you'd take my hand

but you left me alone in the sinking sand

i strike up the band for one last stand

but you just passed me by

show me the rules of the games you play

and i'll be here waiting

come what may

i'll find you. yes i'll find you. if i've got to be the man who walks the earth

i'll find you. yes i'll find you. if i've got to be the man who walks the earth alone. i've followed you now to the end of the world

to wait outside your window

in the heat of the rain i will call your name

but you just pass me by

wherever you run i'll be on your tail

whatever you're hiding behind your veil

i'll find you. yes i'll find you. if i've got to be the man who walks the earth

i'll find you. yes i'll find you. if i've got to be the man who walks the earth alone.
