The Singer |
| 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? |
