Three Weeks To Despair
(专辑: River Of Dreams - 1997)
Time now an empty shell Memories in the
broken glass The
daily journey to despair Where luck's poured out till nothing's left And she wants to run away Away from the
light And the
rain falls and the
night calls In the
shadows we've all passed Life like an empty book With pictures that fade and die Tears in a
bottle of dreams Schemes that never last He wants to runaway, away from the
lies And the
rain falls and the
night calls In the
shadows we've all passed Hope in an empty box Reality in a
paper cup Empty in a
hungry world Did they fall or did we push? And they want to run away Away from the
fight And the
rain falls and the
night calls In the
shadows we've all passed Rain falls and the
night calls In the
shadows we've all passed "I start about half eight in the
morning, right, I
do a
bit of begging, like, till about nine at night-time" "There's only one problem with the
police they keep moving me on" "It's hard to make friends these days, they tell me" "I was in Stockport, once, right, begging, and I
was kicked in the
face" "I know I
look a
bit dirty and scruffy and so on" "I haven't had a
bath now for two weeks bad news, isn't it? I
don't smell, do I?" "All right, you've got to have a
joke, sometimes" "I haven't slept for two nights, now" "The last two places where I
stopped, the
kids burned it down" "They poured petrol on a
homeless guy they set him alight" "Why can't he go out and get a
job?" Behind every tatty sleeping bag And cardboard box there is a
human being With a
family, a
history and a
personality
