Glad Man Singing

I've become a glad man singing a song About a soldier wanting food and fallen angel Naked as a fish at night About a sad man climbed up a willow bough And the cops are on the fence around the dog in the manger And the mouth of the river is wide Wide I've become a glad man singing a song About the bushes by the gas pump gone to flower And a constant star collides About a sad man singing they forgotten how And the baby quick sucking when the milk went sour And the mouth of the river is wide Wide About a sad man lost in the hammock sway When the bridal gown came on and spit out the window And the cops say the dog won't bite And the sad man's saying they've forgotten how And the blood running black in the valley shadows And the river running all the while I've become a glad man singing a song About a lover rolled over, said you must be tired And the truth coming towards the light About a sad man knocking on a chapel door And a burned out boat called "Tried by Fire" And the mouth of the river is wide Wide --- Glad Man Singing - Iron and Wine
