The Lonely Life
What if I did not love you?Where would that leave meWould I wander through the avenuesUnder appall of misery
Would I be face down in the gutterWith cheap whiskey on my breathThe lonely life of a writerWhose words could not pay his debts
Singin' please don't, please don't pass me byI am alive, oh can't you see?That I've been blinded completelyPlease don't, please don't pass me byI 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 savior?Burned and burning with regretThe lonely life of a writerOnly if one last desperate request
Singin' please don't, please don't pass me byI am alive, oh can't you see?That I've been blinded completelyPlease don't, please don't pass me byI am alive, oh can't you see?That I am pleading for your mercy
I've been on the lambBeing hunted, somethin' fierceThey say time and time, it wait's for no manBut I was just hopin'These storm filled skies would clear
Please don't, please don't pass me byPlease don't, please don't pass me byPlease don't, please don't pass me byI am alive, oh can't you see?That I am pleading for your mercy
