Hornsby Bruce Lost Soul Lyrics

Lost Soul Lyrics

(by Bruce R. Hornsby)

 

 There was a man of confused and sad nature

 Thought no one loved him, that was not true

 He said he was a lost soul, didn't fit in anywhere

 Didn't know where to turn, or who to turn to

 

 There's a lost soul coming down the road

 Somewhere between two worlds

 With an oar in his hands and a song on your lips

 We'll row the boat to the far shore

 Row the boat of the loved lost soul

 

 Ever since, oh, I can remember

 We all tried to ease the pain

 Took him in when he needed some shelter

 Tried to make him feel he was one of us again

 There was one day, oh, I can remember

 He sat alone with a pencil in his hand

 All day long he drew careful on the paper

 In the end, just a picture of a man

 

 Of a lost soul coming down the road

 Somewhere between two worlds

 With an oar in his hands and a song on your lips

 We'll row the boat to the far shore

 Row the boat of love, lost soul

 

 Oh, dear Mary, do you remember

 The day when we went walking downtown

 As I recall it was in early December

 After school had just let out

 When I see you on the street in the twilight

 I may tip my hat and keep my head down

 You show me love, but maybe I don't deserve it

 I've been called but not been found

 

 There's a lost soul coming down the road

 Somewhere between two worlds

 With an oar in his hands and a song on our lips

 We'll row the boat to the far shore

 Row the boat of the loved lost soul
