(cash, daniels) |
|
As i walk these narrow streets |
|
Where a million passin feet have trod before me |
|
With my guitar in my hand |
|
Suddenly i realize nobody knows me |
|
Where yesterday the multitude |
|
Screamed and cried my name out for a song |
|
Today the streets are empty |
|
And the crowds have all gone home |
|
I pass a million houses |
|
But there is no place that i belong |
|
All i knew to give you |
|
Was song after song after song |
|
All the truths i tried to tell you |
|
Were as distant to you as the moon |
|
Born 200 years too late |
|
And 200 years too soon |
|
I'm a child of this age |
|
Locked into the pages of your book |
|
And when i am but dust and clay |
|
And all the children stop to take a look |
|
Will they marvel at the miracles i did perform |
|
And the heights i did aspire |
|
Or will they tear out the pages of the book |
|
To light a fire |
|
With the rain on my face |
|
There is no place that i belong |
|
Did you forget this fucking singer so soon? |
|
And did you forget my song? |
