A Walk In The City

I walk the streets all in the dead of night.

My heart's in pieces since she went away.

I lost my lady when I won the fight.

And now I'm starting to regret that day.

So if you hear me crying

Don't even turn your head.

And if you feel like trying

Remember what I said.

You think I'd love you if I knew your heart.

But I see tears no matter where I look.

And though you're lonely while we stay apart.

I just can't make it 'til I'm off the hook.

These ain't your dues I'm paying,

But I must pay them still.

Tonight I won't be staying

But later on I will.

I walk the city through the mist and rain.

My outlook's shitty and my soul's in pain.

I pick them up and then I put them down.

A no horse stranger in a one horse town.

You think I'd love you if I knew your heart.

My eyes can't see you when they're full of tears.

And though you're lonely while we stay apart.

Just give me time and I'll return you years.
