i´m a lonely man walking lonely streets
i´m soaked to the skin with the pain of my unease
from such a strained existence
the tension in this world keeps me from sleep
i´m hungry and cold
there´s a weight hanging over my shoulders
a rain black cloud of doubt
have i got enough love
have i got enough hope?
enough strength to face the world each day?
i know there´s an answer somewhere in this night
i see her each time i look in your eyes
i´m walking in a wild place
i am banging on the gates
on the other side of the tracks babe
hoping that someone´s gonna hear me pray
oh there´s a dawn chorus breaking out all over the town
will you say you want me,
wwill i say i want you?
will you say you love me
when i´m stripped and forced to stand up naked
and will i still love you
the goal that i want can´t exist without fire
and you fire the thoughts that realise all my dreams
these are a grown man´s tears
i lost all faith, i lost all hope
i started drinking, life became a joke
something would keep me going.
i didn´t know what it was
but i saw it each time i looked in your eyes
i´m walking in a wild place
i am banging on the gates
on the other side of the tracks babe
hoping that someone´s gonna hear me pray
oh there´s a dawn chorus breaking out all over the town
oh my god
why do i feel the doubt
you give me something i can´t live without
yet from somewhere there comes an emptiness
a feeling that i can´t suppress
is this the start of the beginning or the point of no return?
there´s an answer there
when i look in your eyes
i´m walking in a wild place
i am banging on the gates
on the other side of the tracks babe
where all my doubts are now laid away away away away
i´m walking in a wild place
i am banging on the gates
on the other side of the tracks babe
where someone answered my prayers
oh there´s a dawn chorus breaking out all over the town
(that´s too sad)
