What Makes a Man Songtext
von City and Colour

I can hear my train comin′
It's a lonesome and distant cry
I can hear my train comin′
Now I'm runnin' for my life

What makes a man
Walk away from his mind?
I think I know
I think I might know

I can feel the wind blowin′
It′s sending shivers down my spine
I can feel the wind blowin'
Shakes the trees and the power lines

What makes a man
Spend his whole life in disguise?
I think I know
Think I might know


(What makes a man?)
I think I might know
(What makes a man?)
I think I might know, know
(What makes a man?)

I can see the sun settin′
It's casting shadows on the sea
I can see the sun, it′s setting
It's getting colder, starting to freeze

What makes a man
Want to break a heart with ease?
I think I know
Think I might know

(What makes a man?)
I think I might know
(What makes a man?)
I think I might know, ohh
(What makes a man?)

I can hear my train comin′
Looks like time is on my side
I can hear my train comin'
I'm still runnin′ for my life


What makes a man pray
When he′s about to die?
I think I know
I think I might know

(What makes a man?)
Think I might know
(What makes a man?)
I think I might know, ohh
(What makes a man?)
(What makes a man?)
Think I might know
(What makes a man?)
I think I might know, ohh
(What makes a man?)
