Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Man with the broken heart filled with lead
He suffered and fought for what he believed
The fighting's over now, the man is dead
A martyr for the cause
[Verse 2]
Dear heart
I wish that you could see
Dear heart
You mean the world to me
[Verse 3]
Man with the golden arm, your face has gone pale
Taken too much junk, gone over the rail
Breathes out a sigh and his body wails
Gonna land in trouble, gonna land in jail
[Verse 4]
He'd give his life, give his everything
To reach his goal and take that last and final fling
But I guess he's just another story
(Just another story)
The greatest story ever told
[Verse 5]
Dear heart
I wish that you could see
Dear heart
You mean the world to me
[Verse 6]
Dear heart
I wish that you could see
Dear heart
You mean the world to me
[Verse 7]
Dear heart
I wish that you could see
(I wish that you)
Dear heart
You mean the world
Oh, you mean the world (You mean the world)
Dear heart
I wish (I wish)
Dear heart
Dear
