A man sitting down on the dock painting a gorgeous fall lake scene; he's drinking heavily and trying hard to make sense of a fairly straightforward life. Is life ever that straightforward?

lyrics

SOLITARY MAN

A solitary man with the world on his shoulders
Paints solitary thoughts on the canvas of his life.

A solitary man with no thought of how he got here
Drinks multiple volumes from his ever empty cup.

The rustle of the leaves falling on the crimson carpet,
The changing of the season bringing hope to the world.
My hope is that he hears or sees the coming of the Fall,
The season's change, dropping leaves in the new book.

A solitary man with all the right moves
Is lost in the flaws of his own perfection.

A solitary man with no plan for where he's going
Gets lost in his thoughts with no one else to care.

My hope is that he hears or sees the coming of the Fall,
The season's change, dropping leaves in the new book.

A solitary man bears the world on his shoulders,
Paints solitary thoughts as a record of his days.

My hope is that he hears or sees the coming of the Fall,
The season's change, dropping leaves in the new book.
