Man On The Corner

(альбом: Genesis Archives #2 1976-92 - 2000)

See the lonely man there on the corner,
What he's waiting for, I don't know,
But he waits everyday now.
He's just waiting for something to show.

And nobody knows him,
And nobody cares,
'Cos there's no hiding place,
There's no hiding place for you.

Looking everywhere at no one,
He sees everything and nothing at all oh.
When he shouts nobody listens,
Where he leads no one will go oh.

He's a lonely man, there on the corner,
What he's waiting for, I don't know,
But he waits everyday now.
He's just waiting for something to show oh.

Nobody knows him,
And nobody cares,
'Cos there's no hiding place,
There's no hiding place for you and me.

Are we just like all the rest,
We're looking too hard for something he's got
Or moving too fast to rest.
But like a monkey on your back you need it.
But do you love it enough to leave it ah.

Just like the lonely man there on the corner,
What he's waiting for, I don't know oh.
But he waits every day now.
He's just waiting for that something to show oh.

Who's the lonely man there on the corner,
What he's waiting for, I don't know.
But he's there every day now.
And he's just waiting for something to show oh.

Who's the lonely man there on the corner,
What he's waiting for, I don't know.
Oh but he waits every day now.
He's just waiting for that something to show.
