(Leo Sayer/Frank Farrell)
|
Have you seen the old men
|
That lean on the walls
|
Of Salvation Halls
|
In the streets of your town
|
You can't have missed
|
The vagrant
|
He is the rubble
|
He is the trouble that you want to remove
|
In the parks about sundown
|
He makes his bed
|
His shoes are a pillow for his head
|
Have you seen the young men
|
That look so old
|
They'd rather have the cold dark lonely road
|
Have you ever wondered
|
Why do they go
|
Leaving the TV and the automo
|
You can see 'em hailing trucks down the open road
|
Wave your thumb and you hop on board
|
'Ain't got no keeper don't need a friend
|
I betcha wish you had the same
|
Yeah I betcha wish you had the same
|
Have you seen the old men
|
Who lean on the walls
|
Of Salvation Halls
|
In the streets of your town
|
We're just a little shady
|
We get a little lazy
|
While you all go crazy
|
In the streets of your town
|
In the parks about sundown
|
We lay our heads
|
Our shoes are pillow
|
The grass our bed
|
Don't need no keeper
|
Don't need no friend
|
I betcha wish you were the same
|
Yeah I betcha wish you were the same
|
