lyrics

You, just passing through,
You got no home -- I'm from there, too.
Meeting on the street: that's good luck,
So take your seat.
We may be down -- take a look around.
Of all the stops along the way,
This is where we are today.

Yeah, yeah, I don't mind.
Everything revealed in time --
Or else just leave it all behind.

Me, I am not free as long as I need air to breathe.
Rain, my ball and chain.
Her hands are cold and I am lame.
She knows my shame,
Whispers my name.
Then I'm hanging out to dry
Under the great big evil eye.

See, you look at me.
You're thinking, "how can he help me?"
Worse, I saw you first.
I saw your hunger, saw your thirst.
That's my big lie.
Mud in your eye.
I got nothing for your pain --
Just a story in the rain.
