Ballad of a Tall Man Lyrics by John Phillips (ZWE)

John

1969

[Verse 1]
Take your voice away from my door
I don't want to hear it anymore
There's something in the sky, that calls for me
So I'll just hand you back your liberty
[Verse 2]
Strangers in the crowds all wear your face
Seems we're gonna meet some other place
But for now, I think you'd better go
Your angel has fallen in the snow
[Verse 3]
Please don't say I did you wrong
We've been playing our game far too long
I'm sure your mind will move to other things
Just as soon as you shake me from your wing
[Verse 4]
Here I am a shell upon the shore
Ain't gonna be your man anymore
It's time for you to fly, so it seems
And maybe i'll see you in your dreams
