Sidewalks of the City

歌詞

As you walk along the sidewalks of the city You see a man with hunger in his face And all around you crumbling buildings and graffiti As you bend down to tie your shoelace Sirens scream but you don't listen You have to reach home before night But now the sun beats down it makes the sidewalks glisten And somehow you just don't feel right Hold me, baby, give me some faith Let me know you're there let me touch your face Give me love give me grace Tell me good things tell me that my world is safe You pass by bars with empty stages Three o'clock drinkers fall by Chairs are placed on top of tables As you brush the hair out of your eyes A woman stops you with a question So you drop some money in her hand She sleeps in doorways and bus stations And you'll never understand Hold me, baby, give me some faith Give me love give me grace Tell me good things tell me that my world is safe
