A Man Of Words (song)

A Man Of Words is a song off the album Two Stories for a Sunflower Grown by Eth Eonel. It was written on March 8, 2010, by Eth Eonel, after a conversation with his fiancée, in which he talked about how he had formerly used words (meaning his diary) to "write himself into" relationships. From he was 15 and until he was 30, Eth Eonel wrote a diary every day, and in many ways this activity defined him during these years. He became the one he wrote about. From sometime in 2009 the diary writing ended, but as Eth Eonel told his fiancée, "it doesn't mean I'm not still a man of words". In the instant he said that, he knew it had to become a song.

Lyrics
In the wake of things that were with a feeling of contentment Conversationing with her about words well said and time well spent Never been a friend of time Our common ties were cut Gave up collecting crimes And my diary, for now I'll keep it shut But I'm still a man of words I am still a man of words Yes, I'm still a man of words I'm still a man of words ... ... ... Every minute of the day and night for almost fifteen years Wrote it down to feel or say but this time around I use my eyes and ears Yet I'm still a man of words I am still a man of words Yes, I'm still a man of words I'm still a man of words
