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
