  • The man on the dock
    He said to me
    Listen to what your eyes tell you
    Love will set you free

    Write what you know
    Go where you go
    Write what you know
    And tell it back to me

    Write what you know
    Just go where you go
    Write what you know
    And bring it all back to me

    He was a poet, he had a cat
    And he was a poet, and we wrote about that
    And he was a poet and he walked amongst the men
    And he told the stories from beginning to end

    He told me walk with your feet
    He told me come back when the song's complete
    Where did you go? what did you see?
    Dont forget along the road to remember me

    He told me to write just what i say
    And he told me to tell him everything around
    He told me to write just what i saw
    Bring it all back in a book of law

    He told me walk with your feet
    He told me to calmly write about what you see
    He taught me to see a little deeper

    He was a poet, and he had a cat
    But he loved his mother and that was that Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind
