"Man In The Sand (Billy's Early Version)"

If I could see
What you want me to see
If I could just shake
The devil in me

If I had a plan
Like the man in the sand
He gave me two hands
He gave me a chance
Oh Lord

Wanderin' 'round
These dead city streets
Foolin' around
Like a kid in the sheets

Do you think of me much?
Do you think I'm just touched?
The graveyard boss
With his innocence lost
Oh Lord

And all my tears have gone dry
And all those years go flyin' by

If I could be
What you want me to be
If I could just shake
The devil in me

If I had a plan
Like the man in the sand
He gave me two hands
He gave me a chance
Oh Lord

And all those years go flyin' by
And all my tears have gone dry
