Man in the Tree

歌詞

I am just a crewman, you can listen to my story if you want to I started out on the Captain's trip so many years ago He was looking for something more than what he had. He said : 'I want to see his face, I want to touch his hand' 'I want to see his face and then I'll know that he's the man' 'And then I'll know that he's the man'. We missed him once at Betelgeuse, then again at Proxima Centauri He had 2,000 years head start but the Captain would not yield Then he would stop that far morning star just a century gone. He said : 'I want to see his face, I want to touch his hand' 'I want to see his face and then I'll know that he's the man' 'And then I'll know that he's the man'. The years they passed us by but we got near him closer by the hour On a hazy planet on the edge of space, we landed one more time They said he'd gone away just half a day before we came. He said : 'I want to see his face, I want to touch his hand' 'I want to see his face and then I'll know that he's the man' 'And then I'll know that he's the man'. We left Earth when I was a boy, now I was a man approaching thirty The Captain went up searching still but me I stayed behind Then they brought me near, they said : 'He's here, he waits inside'. He said : 'I want to see his face, I want to touch his hand' 'I want to see his face and then I'll know that he's the man' 'And then I'll know that he's the man'. 'I want to see his face, I want to touch his hand' 'I want to see his face and then I'll know that he's the man' 'And then I'll know that he's the man' 'And then I'll know that he's the man'.
