Gentleman With a Family
Written by Cheryl, Bentyne & Marc Jordan
The Manhattan Transfer from The Offbeat of Avenues
Scarecrow, weathered and weary
Fragile and old beyond his years.
Here we are - chosen.
In your eyes, the truth lies frozen.
Soldier in the city heat
Refugee on every street.
And life goes by
Standing in the pouring rain.
He's a gentleman with a family.
A gentle man, living day to day.
He's a gentleman with pride,
one may conclude.
Sign reads, "Gentleman with a family
Will work for food".
Shadows haunting his tired eyes
Reaching beyond the empty hand.
Here we are - the chosen
In your eyes, the truth lies frozen.
Soldier in the city heat
Refugee on any street.
And life goes by
An apostle to these worn out souls.
He's a gentleman with a family.
A gentle man, living day to day.
He's a gentleman with pride,
one may conclude.
Sign reads, "Gentleman with a family
Will work for food".
Next time you might think what happened in that person's life to
bring them to where they are. It could be your next door neighbor in
a couple of years. And, it could be you.
