lyrics
Man In Brown
O, little man,
In shades of brown,
From top to toe,
From up to down,
Tan, russet, fawn,
beige, camel, cream,
Side-shade senior.
O, little man,
The grass is green,
In twilight season,
Never did a button of harm to anyone,
Easy listening.
Who are you?
White light or dead leaves on overgrown lawn?
In a world turned brown,
Like nicotine,
Like the garden bench,
That sits alone,
Retired.
O, little man,
The war has gone,
Reflections.
Of what could have been,
Buddy Holly’s Everyday,
Seems a little closer,
Each time you pull the curtains...
Who are you?
.
