Kevin Lynch - The Lonely Man
Late one night in the pouring rain walked the lonely manHomeless and haggard, he woefully staggered, a bottle in his hand
No bills in his pocket, shaking and coughing, slowly lifts his gaze
Empty hands passing yet he keeps on asking
Hoping for someone to change
La la la la la la softly he sings
His wife and his children were sick of the thrills, then left him as he fell
Ignoring the danger of addictive behavior, making his way through hell
Give him a bottle and watch as he stumbles, slipping day by day
"God won't you save me, creator, have mercy. I look to thee and pray"
La la la la la la softly he sings
A part in the sky, the clouds passing by. Sunlight warms the man
Afraid of his own shadow, he hides 'round a corner, trying to avoid the pain
Alone on the sidewalk, hugging his shoulders. Abandoned and afraid
A passing stranger offers him money and a place to stay
La la la la la la softly he sings
Late one night in the pouring rain crawled the lonely man
Aware of his struggles in search of some more thrills. A fix to numb the pain
It was calling his name bringing the guilt, the shame. A bottle in his hand
Drowning in sorrow, no hope for tomorrow. Cried the lonely man
La la la la la la softly he sings
La la la la la la softly he sings
