    Verse 1
    There's 
    a 
    madman 

    standing 
    by 
    the 
    water 

    His 
    gaze 
    is 
    fixed 
    far 

    away 
    to 
    sea 

    There's 
    a 
    madman 

    stand
    ing 
    by 
    the 
    wa
    ter 

    Or 
    do you 
    ever 
    wonder 

    who 
    such 
    men 
    can 
    be? 

    For 
    his 
    step, 

    it 
    always 
    seems 
    so 
    hapless 

    He 
    seems 
    to 
    hang 
    upon 
    the 
    air

    As 
    if 
    he'd 
    just 
    stepped 

    down 
    from 

    Calvary 

    An
    d 
    wished 
    he'd 
    been 
    left 

    hanging 
    there 

    There's 
    a 
    man 
    that's 
    staring 

    to 
    the 
    water 

    There's 
    a 
    castaway 
    who's 

    wait
    ing 
    to 
    be 
    found 

    Like 
    a 
    sacrifice, 

    stands 
    before 
    the 
    altar, 

    And 
    he 
    prays 
    he 
    may 
    nev
    er 

    be 
    drowned. 

    Father, 
    my 
    man, 

    he 
    dreams 
    of 
    other 
    sea
    sons, 

    Where 
    his 
    life 
    and 
    work 

    can 
    be 
    the 
    same. 

    When 
    no 
    man 
    call
    s for 
    his 
    reasons, 


    And 
    no 
    man 
    mocks, 

    no 
    man 
    mocks 
    his 
    name. 

    There's 
    a 
    madman 
    standing 
    by 
    the 
    water, 

    his 
    gaze 
    is 
    fixed 
    in
    tensely 
    on 
    the 
    sky 

    An
    d 
    were 
    the 
    seagull 
    skin
    s 

    an
    d 
    eye
    s 

    The 
    man 
    -o 
    -witches 
    he 
    could 
    fly 

    For 
    he 
    wanders 
    his 
    days 

    like 
    a 
    crippled 
    bird 

    Yes, 
    sing 
    his 
    fate 
    with 

    every 
    step 

    For 
    he 
    never 
    can 
    un
    ravel 

    his 
    own 
    mystery 

    When 
    it traps 
    him 
    like, 

    traps 
    him 
    like 
    a 
    net 

    There's 
    a 
    madman 
    star
    ing 

    through 
    the 
    water 

    Where 
    a 
    yonder 
    laughs 

    at 
    him 
    so 
    dark 
    and 
    grey 

    Oh, 
    and 
    though 
    he 
    knows 

    she's 
    his 
    only 
    salvation 

    He 
    also 
    knows 

    he 
    can't 
    af
    ford 

    upon 
    the 
    waves 

    For 

    Father 

    Madman 
    must 
    work 

    through 
    his 
    dark
    ness 

    and 
    must 
    sleep 

    through 
    the 
    brightening 
    day 

    And 
    the 

    Madman 
    will 
    dream 

    by 
    the 
    water 

    Long 
    till 
    the 
    sea 
    shall 
    carry 
    him 
    away, 

    him 
    away.

      Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      "

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
