One Man Band

if i could give you one reason
why he plays on and he stays on
i would
but i don't know the magic he's hearing
as he plays on
for a world that just don't care

one man band...playin' on
after all of his mates gone home
one man band...sings his song
after all of the people gone

if i could tell you the secret
why he dreams on and he goes on
i would
but i can't reach the place he goes to
when he plays on
for a world that just don't care

one man band...playin' on
after all of his mates gone home
one man band...sings his song
after all of the people gone

and if i could get there
i'd be goin'
if i could be there
i'd be knowin'

one man band...playin' on
after all of his mates gone home
one man band...sings his song
after all of the people gone
