Each Manner of Man

John Ford (Strawbs), Dave Cousins

[Verse 1]
Each manner of man
Whatever his age
Can reach for the stars
Yet burnish with rage
To walk through the fields
To gather the flowers
At nature's request
Whatever the hours

[Chorus 1]
Whenever the sun shall raise a stain
To glisten the dew with a golden caress
To pleasure the earth with the warmth of its rays
Like a young girl's new dress
Like a young girl's new dress

[Verse 2]
Each manner of woman
Shall wear a disguise
To measure the man
With steel in her eyes
In offering comfort
The traveler within
May quicken the pace
The nature of sin

[Chorus 2]
Whenever the dream shall seem in vain
The sparkle of stars doth most certain impress
To flatter the heart with the power of praise
Of a young man's success
Of a young man's success

[Verse 3]
Each manner of god
Can transcend belief
The jewel in the crown
In the eyes of a thief
An item so precious
Obsession is fear
But mercy is finite
The judgement severe

[Chorus 3]
If ever the doubt shall still remain
The days gather pace like a mighty express
Reminding us all to reflect on our ways
Nothing more, nothing more
Nothing more, nothing less
Nothing more, nothing less
Nothing more, nothing less
Nothing more, nothing less
