The Inner Man

[Verse 1]
I have lost my coat on the road today
Cries the man of constant sorrow
Ruin has him in the wind at last
Cries the wolf of time
Merchant make a coat for a sinner man
Finer than the one he's lost
But it is nothing to the state of the inner man
Though the wolf goes hungry again
Cries the wolf of time tomorrow

[Verse 2]
I have burned my house down to the ground
Cries the homeless man of sorrow
Ruin has him in the wind at last
Cries the wolf of time
We'll build a new home for the sinner man
Stronger than thе one he's lost
Make it nothing likе the state of the inner man
Though the wolf goes hungry again
Cries the wolf of time tomorrow

[Verse 3]
I have lost my son, my only son
Cries the weary man of sorrow
Ruin's got him in the wind at last
Hopes the wolf of time
Let him go to the father of all sinner men
Let it be a far, far better world
It's nothing to the state of the inner man
But let the wolf go hungry again
Cries the wolf of time tomorrow

[Verse 4]
But I have lost my life, my only life
Cries the vagabond of sorrow
Ruin has him in the wind at last
Cries the wolf of time
Oh, but death never frightened no sinner man
Though blood blackens his last door
But it all means nothing to the state of the inner man
So let the wolf go hungry again
Cries the wolf of time tomorrow
Cries the wolf of time
Cries the wolf of time tomorrow
Cries the wolf of time
