The man who lives in a mailbox Sings his song alone The rent he says is reasonable And he likes the tone. He sings: I possess but what I have That time does not remove. All the castles all the kings Are never here alone. Brave parades and cheerful tunes Do not the truth disprove. We are each a single soul And never here alone. Never here alone. His song is sung to passersby Always much surprised To pass a mailbox, hear a song Coming from inside. He sings: I possess but what I have That time does not remove. All the castles all the kings Are never here alone. Brave parades and cheerful tunes Do not the truth disprove. We are each a single soul And never here alone. Never here alone. Now, some protest, they say he’s mad They tell him he is wrong And some ignore his choice of home And listen to his song. He sings: I possess but what I have That time does not remove. All the castles all the kings Are never here alone. Brave parades and cheerful tunes Do not the truth disprove. We are each a single soul And never here alone. Never here alone.

MAN WHO LIVES IN A MAILBOX
The man who lives in a mailbox Sings his song alone The rent he says is reasonable And he likes the tone. He sings: I possess but what I have That time does not remove. All the castles all the kings Are never here alone. Brave parades and cheerful tunes Do not the truth disprove. We are each a single soul And never here alone. Never here alone. His song is sung to passersby Always much surprised To pass a mailbox, hear a song Coming from inside. He sings: I possess but what I have That time does not remove. All the castles all the kings Are never here alone. Brave parades and cheerful tunes Do not the truth disprove. We are each a single soul And never here alone. Never here alone. Now, some protest, they say he’s mad They tell him he is wrong And some ignore his choice of home And listen to his song. He sings: I possess but what I have That time does not remove. All the castles all the kings Are never here alone. Brave parades and cheerful tunes Do not the truth disprove. We are each a single soul And never here alone. Never here alone.
