Casey joins the hallow sound of silent people walking down The stairway to the subway in the shadows down below Following their footsteps through the neon darkened corridors Of silent desperation never speaking to a soul
The poison air he's breathing has a dirty smell of dying Cause it's never seen the sunshine and it's never felt the rain But Casey minds the arrows and ignores the fatal echoes Of the clicking of the turnstyle and the rattle of his chain
Oh she said, Casey it's been so long since I've seen you Here she said, just a kiss to make a body smile See she said, I put on new stockings just to please you Lord she said, Casey can you only stay a while
Casey leaves the underground and stops inside the Golden Crown For something wet to wipe away the chill that's on his bones Seeing his reflection in the lives of all the lonely men Who reach for anything thay can to keep from going home
Standing in the corner Casey drinks his pint of bitter Never glancing in the mirror at the people passin' by And he stumbles as he's leavin' and he wonders if the reason Is the beer that's in his belly or the tear that's in his eye
Oh she said, I suppose you seldom think about me Now she said, now that you've a family of your own Still she said, it's so blessed good to feel your body Lord she said, Casey it's a shame to be alone
Oh she said, Casey it's been so long since I've seen you Here she said, just a kiss to make a body smile See she said, I put on new stockings just to please you Lord she said, Casey can you only stay a while Lord she said, Casey it's a shame to be aloneTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
