I found it on Spotify. This is how I hear it:


HOMUNCULUS
As recorded by Chris Smither on "Another Way to Find You" (1992)

There's a man that lives inside my mind.
He's got eyes that see to the end of time.
He never needs nothin' at all.
He's a lonely man who walks along
With his head hung down and he's singin' his song.
He don't need a whole lot o' lovin'.
He never needs nothin'.
Boy, he never needs nothin' at all.

To him the sky is blue forever.
There is no time from then to never.
When I ask he tells me so.
He's told me twice that love is blind,
And I've told him once that I don't mind,
And he don't need a whole lot o' lovin'.
He never needs nothin'.
Oh, he never needs nothin' at all.

He told me at the start of spring
There is an end to this beginning.
Leave it now or it leaves it all till fall.
He wonders how the wind and rain
Can live so long and stand the pain,
And he don't need a whole lot o' lovin'.
He never needs nothin'.
Boy, he never needs nothin' at all.

And I've watched him go as he grew older
With a mind as cold as mine or colder,
And he don't need a whole lot o' lovin'.
He never needs nothin'.
This man never needs nothin' at all.
