The Lonely Life

歌詞

What if I did not love you? Where would that leave me? But I wander through the avenues Under a pall of misery Would I be face down in the gutter With cheap whiskey on my breath The lonely life of a writer Whose words could not pay his debts Saying please don't, please don't pass me by I am alive, oh can't you see? That I've been finding company Please don't, please don't pass me by I am alive, oh can't you see? That I am pleading for your mercy What if we became strangers? Would you notice my face in a crowd? And you could you hear the sorrow in my voice? Helplessly crying your name out loud Would I be searching for a saviour? Burning, burning with regret The lonely life of a writer With one last desperate request Saying please don't, please don't pass me by I am alive, oh can't you see? That I've been finding company Please don't, please don't pass me by I am alive, oh can't you see? That I am pleading for your mercy I've been on the lamb Being hunted, so confused They say time and tide don't wait for no man And I was just hoping These storm filled skies will clear Please don't, please don't pass me by Please don't, please don't pass me by Please don't, please don't pass me by I am alive, oh can't you see? That I am pleading for your mercy
