Man In My Garden, by Dirk Kruger Subscribe to rss feed for Dirk Kruger

Saw a man
Outside my bedroom window
His face looked vaguely known
Like we have met before

I could see marks on his face
Years and years of make believe
Eyes crying in the rain
Failures of his past
Present and future
It's all the same

And I thought
That man needs a friend
As I went outside
Was met by an old man
With a long white beard
And sad eyes

And he said son
Don't worry about me
I'm fine
Take a look in the mirror
You are the one that needs help
Your eyes are as sad as mine

Then….. a flash of light
He's gone
And I'm left alone
With my sad eyes
To carry on
