This thread brings this one to mind:

CRAZY MAN
(Allan Taylor)

There was a crazy man lived by the sea
He'd stand on the beach as still as a tree
The wind beat his body, the salt burned his face
But the crazy man he loved that place

The people thought he was some kind of sage
Who had wisdom from another age
The turned to him to show them the way
But the crazy man had nothing to say

Chorus:
I have no answers, don't ask me why
Maybe some day soon it will all come clear
By and by and by

They grew angry and they asked him again
Pleading for answers he gave them none
He just whispered, looking out to the sea
Look to yourselves and not to me

And so they beat him and drove him away
He has failed us, they were heard to say
They were afraid and did not understand
He was just a crazy man
