Lyrics
:
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 it 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 someone's gonna hear me pray Oh there's a dawn chorus breaking out all over the town Will you say you want me, Will 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 For 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 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 When 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 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 Oh there's a dawn chorus breaking out all over Over the town
