|
Alone in a barroom, a young girl is sitting |
|
And smiling, at nothing at all |
|
And she stares now and then, at the eyes of the men |
|
In the mirror that hangs on the wall |
|
She's waiting for someone and knowing there's no one |
|
Who cares if she comes or she goes |
|
Just a soul in the shadows the world never sees |
|
She's somebody nobody knows |
|
Someone no-one's ever known |
|
Cryin' where no-one can hear |
|
Somebody's dying alone |
|
In a city, where nobody cares |
|
Down in the gutter, an old man had fallen |
|
Like someone the world threw away |
|
And the late crowd was leaving, and nobody even |
|
Took time to look down where he lay |
|
The old man was crying and helplessly tryin' |
|
To wipe off the stain from his clothes |
|
Just a soul in the shadows, that life left behind |
|
He's somebody nobody knows |
|
Someone no-one's ever known |
|
Cryin' where no-one can hear |
|
Somebody's dying alone |
|
In a city, where nobody cares |
|
In a city, where nobody cares |
