I see a man/Walking down a gray street
Worn out heart/Tired feet
Never had a home/Though he had a house
Had a wife/She was never a spouse
[chorus]
Never looking back
Thought he broke away
Life overcame him
When he seized the day
Can't escape mem'ries
Even when far apart
Can escape past lives
But never your heart
-
A cold rain pours/Soaking him to the bone
He can't find shelter/So he walks alone
Thought he could make it/He didn't need pity
He's just a number now/Prisoner of the city
[chorus]
He realises/He can never return
To what he hated/To what he yearns
A place he felt/Was constant misery
A place, he know/Craves tormentedly
[chorus]
