[00:15.71] Casey joins the hollow sound of silent people walking down
[00:23.09] The stairway to the subway in the shadows down below.
[00:30.77] Following their footsteps through the neon-darkened corridors
[00:37.46] Of silent desperation, never speaking to a soul.
[00:45.25] The poison air he's breathing has the dirty smell of dying
[00:51.73] 'Cos it's never seen the sunshine and it's never felt the rain.
[00:59.06] But Casey minds the arrows and ignores the fatal echoes,
[01:06.15] Of the clicking of the turnstiles and the rattle of his chains.
[01:19.90] "Oh," she said: "Casey, it's been so long since I've seen you.
[01:32.46] "Here," she said: "just a kiss to make a body smile. “
[01:43.82] "See," she said: "I've put on new stockings just to please you. “
[01:55.13] "Lord," she said. "Casey, can you only stay a while."
[02:09.05] Casey leaves the underground and stops inside The Golden Crown,
[02:15.84] For something wet to wipe away the chill that's on his bones.
[02:23.58] Seeing his reflection in the lives of all the lonely men,
[02:30.22] Who reach for anything they can to keep from going home.
[02:37.21] Standing in the corner, Casey drinks his pint of bitter,
[02:43.99] Never glancing in the mirror at the people passing by.
[02:51.33] And he stumbles as he's leaving and he wonders if the reason,
[02:59.13] Is the beer that's in his belly or the tear that's in his eye.
[03:12.34] "Oh," she said: "I suppose you seldom think about me.
[03:25.05] "Now," she said: "now that you've a family of your own. “
[03:35.70] "Still," she said: "It's so blessed good to feel your body. “
[03:47.15] "Lord," she said: "Casey, it's a shame to be alone."
[03:58.46] "Oh," she said: "Casey, it's been so long since I've seen you.
[04:10.27] "Here," she said: "just a kiss to make a body smile. “
[04:20.81] "See," she said: "I've put on new stockings just to please you. “
[04:31.88] "Lord," she said. "Casey, can you only stay a while."
