Janis Ian - Make a Man of You lyrics

[Janis Ian - Make a Man of You lyrics]

You've grown too tall again
Somebody better clip your wings
Before you fly away

You are too bold to live
Somebody better learn to give
Or learn to lose with grace

The sky knows your name now
The leaves, they fall too fast
You're dying in the grass
And I can't let this moment pass

Your breath, it reeks of ocean breezes
Your eyes have turned too blue
The sky holds no challenge for you
What strange diseases that make a man of you

Here is the sky's parole
Somebody's got to leave it whole
Go on and take it

The earth's too small to breathe
And if you can't get free
Well I know you can fake it

Your lips don't move the air
The sun comes tumbling down
You're fading into novas
And you leave me on the ground

Your face it reeks of ocean breezes
Your eyes have changed their hue
The skies hold no memory of you
What strange diseases that make a man of you
