Ragged Man from Life's Flame by Alexander James Adams

RAGGED MAN
Lyrics: Philip Obermarck
Music: Heather Alexander

Hey, little ragged man, tell me where you're goin'?
The twilight hours are long over and the winter winds are blowin'
Do you have a secret that keeps you set apart
Or are you just a victim of someone's hardened heart?

Hey, little ragged man, are you headin' homeward?
Or is your home a mystery like an edge without a sword?
Do you keep your secret away from all you meet
Or do you have a partner upon the silent street?

Hey, little ragged man, help me find the courage
I need the strength to carry on and stand up to this outrage
Let me know your secret, let me be your friend
Together we will conquer, together we will mend

I saw a little ragged man with feet of dancing frost
With rags about his icy hands and his breath plumed like exhaust
He laughed and looked upon the end
And cried 'cause he had lost
