[Verse 1]

Outside the gate there lived a man

A man with a forgotten name

Who tried to feel most everything

But where he ended up was wrapped in shame

It's how you shape the day to day

Not what you hide behind

"We are born with the sin," he said

"And with the sin we must surely die"

[Refrain]

And we don't see him anymore

He's lost his way now, that's for sure

[Verse 2]

She doesn't recognize him

But she knew him very well

The tattered suit, the leather boots

The ringing of the bells

She said, "It's what you give

And what you take and what you leave behind

That marks the measure of your life"

She said she knew him very well

[Refrain]

And we don't see him anymore

He's lost his way now, that's for sure

[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]

There was a man who lived outside the gate

And guilty was his name

He tried to love most everything

But where he ended up was wrapped in shame

It's who he loved and what he took

And who he left behind

That marked the measure of his life

You know that guilty was his name

[Refrain]

And we don't see him anymore

He's lost his way now, that's for sure

[Outro]

We don't see him anymore

He's lost his way now, that's for sure
