By The Rule - Mick Flannery

作词：Mick Flannery

作曲：Mick Flannery

The man who lived to live alone

His heart he ruled to know but one

His name was none he took no ground

He came and went without a sound

One day the man did sing a song

Then stood and wait for her to come

For years they sang but he would not know

From some he took and then let go

One day our lady did divine

To move the air most true and fine

He drew but found his voice had gone

Dear God he thought I've stood too long

The crimes the crimes of the fool against the fool

The cries the cries of the man who lived by the rule

To die by the rule

You offered everything to me

I took you know I took for free

The morning broke and flood in blue

I knew before the day was through

I'd tear into the heart of you

I tore into the heart of you

A pair a pair of young lives becomes a love

And there there they've won

Oh how is it done

How is it done

I wait to look into your eyes

I wait for you to look at mine

My love oh love I long to see

I'll offer all I have to thee

And you'll tear into the heart of me

You'll tear into the heart of me
