A Man of Words Lyrics

A man of words and not of deeds 


Is like a garden full of weeds


And when the weeds begin to grow 


It's like a garden full of snow 


And when the snow begins to fall 


It's like a bird upon the wall 


And when the bird away does fly 


It's like an eagle in the sky

And when the sky begins to roar 


It's like a lion at the door 


And when the door begins to crack 


It's like a stick across your back 


And when your back begins to smart


It's like a penknife in your heart 


And when your heart begins to bleed 


You're dead, and dead, and dead indeed

A man of words and not of deeds

Is like a harvest without seeds

And when a seedless plot is sold

It's like a story never told

And when the story has no start

It's like a world without a heart

And when your world is filled with greed

You're dead and dead and dead indeed
