The Yardbirds - An Original Man (A Song For Keith) lyrics

A man I knew Died too young And in the end His song unsung He touched my life He touched my soul Given time he'd reach his goal An original man that I knew An original man right through A sadness hidden Behind his gaze Before his time In many ways People copy, Take and steal But my friend he was for real An original man that I knew An original man right through Time gives And takes away Everybody has their day Even now I see your face You never left without a trace An original man that I knew An original man right through
