Here He Lies (original song)

Soooo I've been writing different stuff then I usually do, its fun!
Anywho I was thinkin' about whats going to happen when I turn 18 and go live on my own and I've been thinking about moving to New Orleans for a bit,then I was reading Bob Dylans book and he started talking about a night in new orleans he saw a drunk man in ally leaning up against the wall. Then BAM lol it hit me.
Thank you for watching!

I saw him in the dark on the street
whispering riddles I couldn't keep, up with,
He kept his eyes down low his jacket high
I could of stopped there but I went on by

Here he lies in death
in shadow
I made him this way
thats what he said
Here he lies so broken
so shattered
with nothing to say
thats what he said

In the day he was sitting by himself
cringing at the sunday church bells
I watched as he tried to grasp the sun
cried and went along, on his own

There she was in beauty
in youth
oh I wish she knew
thats what he said
pretty girl with
diamond eyes
I kissed her one night
thats what he said

I looked out of my window down the road
saw a man I could of known, one day,
He was just like I remembered him
alone,hopeless and thin

There you are
my blessing, my curse
does it hurt down there
thats what I said
my bluest brown eyes
why did you lie
I could of loved you
I could of loved you

I saw him in the dark on the street
whispering riddles I couldn't keep, up with,
He kept his eyes down low his jacket high
I could of stopped there but I went on by
