New Man Lyrics - Singles - Smalltown Poets

Eye is to the body as a thought is to the soul 

They're both a lamp whose sharpness I control 

Beauty lingers 'bout as long as flattery, my friend 

That door doesn't let out but lets back in 

I was full of everything, my eyes put on this plate 

Full of joy I'm needing, less of late 

I can return love to You the best that I know how 

I believe my worth has been redeemed 

And I can be a new man now 

Flatterers can fill a room as readily as this 

The Devil goes to dinner amidst their bliss 

Following the need will lead me farther from truth's well 

Then only to be filled with what I miss 

I was full of everything, my eyes put on this plate 

Full of joy I'm needing, less of late 

I can return love to You the best that I know how 

I believe my worth has been redeemed 

And I can be a new man now 

I'm a new man, I'm a new man 

I'm a new man, I'm a new man 

Like I said, there's always room 

Where one keeps all things dear 

I'll shrink away from sight and thought 

And evil that appears 

I was full of everything, my eyes put on this plate 

Full of joy I'm needing, less of late 

I can return love to You the best that I know how 

I believe my worth has been redeemed 

And I can be a new man now 

I'm a new man, I'm a new man 

I'm a new man, I'm a new man
