Is it wrong to sing a sad sad song
To tell a story that is much too long
'Bout a man who made his way back home
And found his name on an old tombstone

Nobody knew who he was
Why he came and for what cause
Is it wrong to sing a sad sad song
To tell a story that is much too long
'Bout a man who made his way back home
And found his name on an old tombstone

People thought he died there
In the muddy water
Been away for 50 odd years

His family waited for him every day
Left a place when the table was laid
But he was taken when 10 years old
By the creatures who came out of the cold

Nobody knew who he was
Why he came and for what cause
People thought he died there
People thought he died there
In the muddy water
Been away for 50 odd years

Ooooh
Ooooh

Found his name on an old tombstone
Found his name on an old tombstone
