Do you remember Look at me And all the things we'd said we'd be We'd beat the house We'd push the odds We'd take it all we had the cards With years
So after all those one night stands You've ended up with heart in hand A child alone On your own Retreating Regretful for the things you're not And all
If I closed my eyes Would it all subside To an echo in the night Of a distant fading light Then a stranger's silhouette A burning cigarette And somewhere
Listen to me From deep down inside I'm the madness that just Will not die With no regrets Of what I'll do to you Before the night is over You'll be
ruins But I'm doin' well tonight I got dreams to sell tonight Got to belong Try to hang on Got to belong Ghost in the ruins I'm runnin' the street
I've been waiting Long forgotten Shipwrecked on A distant shore Am I drifting No more wanted Floating outward Evermore All the dreams That I've harbored
Somewhere on that long empty road We all stand lone Searching for clues From our different views In the dark I call out your name It echoes in vain
Jesus was a talker Out of place New Yorker Hung out on the boulevard Sellin' nickel candies Saving all his quarters Bought himself a cheap guitar Started
I've been here since eighty-one That's a long time And I've seen All there is here to see Had a space on Astor place Had it all once Now there streets
to touch you, but you're not here today Now's the time I need you most, I think about the days we lost Baby, I need you here. I'm out on the streets
Hey there Lord it's me I wondered if you're free Or not asleep This just won't keep It seems I just don't see Why all the things we asked Or prayed
slab of bacon Hanging like a coat Seemed things were going right Till Sammy pulled a knife sayin' "If you want to cut the cards Sammy's gonna up the odds" Then everything was quiet A street
So what can I tell you If life's the length of this play Perhaps God gave the answers To those with nothing to say But then the years are forgiving
has led [Chorus] These streets Glitter in the dark Don't sleep Red eyes sunken and stark Dream deep In her arms where you are safe These streets Never
Who's this before me Dressed in rags soaked in gin A sign or a warning Am I now where he's been Am I losing my way This strange insanity An illusion
friend Wander the streets all alone The lost in search of his own Once again I've played the clown Used my friends to let him down Walk the streets
So D.T. returned To the ground he had burned in his past And the press they all laughed And they said it never lasts But the crowds they came in Just
touch you But you're not here today And now's the time I need you most I think about the days we were close Baby I need you here. I'm out on the streets
