You're the seventh son 
Of the seventh son
Maybe that's why you're such a strange 
And special one
You can't even seem to love yourself
And with a few exceptions 
Not anybody else

You can lead a horse to water 
But you cannot make him drink
You can give a man your whole heart and soul 
But you cannot make him think

You could have been with me 
Instead of alone and lonely

You can tell him the day of departure 
Exactly the place and the time
He might really wanna be there 
But he misses every time
Is he a man or a paper tiger
When you need him will he run 
Or stand beside you

You could have been with me 
Instead of alone and lonely

You could have been with me 
Instead of alone and lonely
