My Morning Jacket & Andrew Bird
This is a song about a friend of Jim James' who first introduced Jim to alternative music and thus was a catalyst for his musical career.
[Verse 1]
He was leading us through the dark
He was saying that love goes on
I was wanting some "ice cream"
He knew exactly what I meant
[Verse 2]
From the driver's seat in the dark
He popped a tape in the dash of his car
And when the singer started to scream
I knew exactly what he meant
[Chorus]
I never knew for sure
What a wonderful man he was
What a sensible man he was
What a wonderful man he was
I never knew for sure
What a wonderful man he was
What a sensuous man he was
What a wonderful man he was
[Verse 3]
Why do we love what is wrong?
Big devil told us to sing along
And like a loving flock we obey
Except him, he went his own way
[Outro]
I never knew for sure
What a wonderful man he was
'Til the day I found out his cause
Was to do it for all of us
What a Wonderful Man was written by Jim James.
What a Wonderful Man was produced by Jim James & John Leckie.
My Morning Jacket released What a Wonderful Man on Tue Oct 04 2005.
