The Inner Man

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I have lost my coat on the road today Cries the man of constant sorrow Ruin has him in the wind at last Cries the wolf of time Merchant make a coat for a sinner man Finer than the one he's lost But it is nothing to the state of the inner man Though the wolf goes hungry again Cries the wolf of time tomorrow [Verse 2] I have burned my house down to the ground Cries the homeless man of sorrow Ruin has him in the wind at last Cries the wolf of time We'll build a new home for the sinner man Stronger than thе one he's lost Make it nothing likе the state of the inner man Though the wolf goes hungry again Cries the wolf of time tomorrow [Verse 3] I have lost my son, my only son Cries the weary man of sorrow Ruin's got him in the wind at last Hopes the wolf of time Let him go to the father of all sinner men Let it be a far, far better world It's nothing to the state of the inner man But let the wolf go hungry again Cries the wolf of time tomorrow [Verse 4] But I have lost my life, my only life Cries the vagabond of sorrow Ruin has him in the wind at last Cries the wolf of time Oh, but death never frightened no sinner man Though blood blackens his last door But it all means nothing to the state of the inner man So let the wolf go hungry again Cries the wolf of time tomorrow Cries the wolf of time Cries the wolf of time tomorrow Cries the wolf of time
