| There was a man came to our town | |
| He wore a suit of red | |
| He memorized with secret eyes | |
| That he hid away in his head | |
| He had a scar upon his head | |
| Where there used to be a crown | |
| But he sold his robes at the five and ten | |
| And lived on the edge of town | |
| That fall he showed us a magic leaf | |
| That he could change to snow | |
| He bought it partly with his grief | |
| And partly with his soul | |
| He scattered seeds in the alley way | |
| He never seemed to rest | |
| And when you went to ask him why | |
| All he ever said was yes | |
| He made a swan from waving grass | |
| Beside a crystal shore | |
| And a sunrise spun from broken glass | |
| And many things wondrous more | |
| But then his hands began to burn | |
| When he heard the news from the war | |
| When we cannot find each other he said | |
| Then we can't run away any more | |
| Next day with tears along his face | |
| He passed us on the hill | |
| No one thought to ask him to stay | |
| And he knows that we never will | |
| There was a man came to our town | |
| He wore a suit of red | |
| He memorized with secret eyes | |
| That he hid away in his head |
