Oh be a man, as fast as you can,   Oh be a man, as fast as you can   Growing up wild, out in the fields   In awe of the stars, and the power they wield      Oh you loved them anyway   Don't think they noticed you      See how the stars change, from summer to fall   The sole indication, that we're moving at all   Carry the world, with the hands of a child   You can't be a boy, she wants you to be wild      She was the sun, sun, sun   And you were the moon   And the light of the sun   Fills up the room      Oh you loved her anyway   And she tried to love you      When she was asleep, you'd watch her face   Taken in sleep to a more peaceful place   You'd stand by the door, cause you were her guard   And you'd love her in silence, and it wasn't that hard.      Cause she was the sun, sun, sun   And you were the moon   And the light of the sun   Eclipses the moon      Oh you loved her anyway   And she tried to love you      She never asked you, what you're dreaming of   She told you 'bout Texas, and liquor and love   She was hard-edged and broken, she blamed a man   But she told you to be one, as fast as you can
