You were in the city
|
One night all alone
|
Waiting for a taxi
|
That could take you home
|
You saw a man walking
|
Down the street, towards you
|
And you could see he had no teeth
|
In his upper jaw
|
He had dirt in his hair
|
He had dirt everywhere
|
His clothes didn't fit,
|
And one eye was hit
|
He asked you if you had
|
A minute to talk
|
You said you didn't talk to strangers
|
And you started to walk
|
|
His eyes looked sad
|
And he asked you why
|
You acted like this
|
Was it because he looked so bad
|
I know I scare you
|
But I just wanted to say
|
That you're the most beautiful
|
I've seen today
|
|
You said
|
Thank you very much
|
But pleace now
|
Leave me alone
|
He said where are you going
|
You said
|
I'm going home
|
Oh pleace would you invite me
|
To your house sometime
|
You have just seen mine
|
It's here on tha ground
|
|
He took a bottle from his jacket
|
And he said cheers
|
And you felt it was gone
|
That feeling of fear
|
You said
|
What happened to you
|
How could you
|
End up like this
|
You must have had your choices
|
So tell me what this is
|
|
He said
|
You don't know a thing about me
|
All you know is only what you see
|
Even if i've lost the most
|
Of my brain
|
I still can see the sun and I can feel
|
When it rains
|
|
I tried to be friendly
|
I tried to be nice
|
But you turned me your back and
|
You were as chilly as ice
|
I didn't ask you for money
|
I asked you for words
|
It's not my life that bothers
|
It's the way you act that hurts
|
|
You said you were sorry
|
But how could you know
|
What someone like him
|
Suddenly could do
|
But then you talked
|
Until the taxi arrived
|
You said you had to go
|
You said goodnight
|
|
There's only one thing
|
I wanna tell you
|
Before you go
|
I know you wanna get home
|
I know you do
|
I just wanted to tell you
|
I just wanted to say
|
That i'll remember
|
With a smile this day
|
|

You and him
