[00:10] |
I sleep in a storefront doorway |
[00:15] |
You can see me everywhere |
[00:19] |
As I hold my hand out for money |
[00:24] |
No-body seems to care |
[00:29] |
They don't want to know my story |
[00:33] |
They've heard it all before |
[00:37] |
I'm just another beggar on the street |
[00:42] |
Who always asks for more |
[00:48] |
Let me lie down in green pastures |
[00:52] |
Let me gaze upon the stars |
[00:56] |
Let me wake to the sound of birdsong |
[01:01] |
And the playing of guitars |
[01:05] |
Let me roll in the arms of someone |
[01:08] |
Whose smile is the light of dawn |
[01:12] |
And I will lay me down in peace at last |
[01:17] |
To a new day being born |
[01:30] |
My body's thin and dirty |
[01:34] |
And I'm shaking from the cold |
[01:38] |
There's no way out but further down |
[01:42] |
And I'll die before I'm old |
[01:46] |
Do not worry, keep on walking |
[01:50] |
You can turn the other way |
[01:54] |
I'm not in the mood for talking |
[01:58] |
And I've nothing left to say |
[02:05] |
Let me lie down in green pastures |
[02:09] |
Let me gaze upon the stars |
[02:13] |
Let me wake to the sound of birdsong |
[02:17] |
And the playing of guitars |
[02:21] |
Let me roll in the arms of someone |
[02:24] |
Whose smile is the light of dawn |
[02:29] |
And I will lay me down in peace at last |
[02:32] |
To a new day being born |
[03:10] |
In this brutal land of plenty |
[03:14] |
It's only plenty for the few |
[03:18] |
And my pocket's always empty |
[03:22] |
And there's nothing I can do |
[03:26] |
Nothing for the needy |
[03:30] |
And only pity for the poor |
[03:34] |
I'm still sleeping in a doorway |
[03:37] |
And I can't take it anymore |
[03:44] |
Let me lie down in green pastures |
[03:48] |
Let me gaze upon the stars |
[03:52] |
Let me wake to the sound of birdsong |
[03:56] |
And the playing of guitars |
[04:00] |
Let me roll in the arms of someone |
[04:04] |
Whose smile is the light of dawn |
[04:08] |
And I will lay me down in peace at last |
[04:13] |
To a new day being born |
[04:18] |
Lay me down in peace at last |
[04:22] |
To a new day being born |
