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]
