Dry bread on the table   Burn the mill, salt the paper      And it's easy pickins on Locust Street   There's no place to hide   And you can't find love on Locust Street   But you can hear the sunrise crying   Can't you hear the sunrise crying?   A song for you alone      Sad eyes, weeping willow   Black cat blues, blacked out window      And it's easy pickins on Locust Street   There's no place to hide   And you can't find love on Locust Street   But you can hear the sunrise crying   Can't you hear the sunrise crying?   A song for you alone      Just a glimpse of what love could be   Once a dream that I owned   What of many lonely longing souls   At least I'm not alone   Well, at least I'm not alone      Ripe off the vine now lay rotten   Like a dead end street forever forgotten      And it's easy pickins on Locust Street   There's no place to hide   And you can't find love on Locust Street   But you can hear the sunrise crying   Can't you hear the sunrise crying?   Can't you hear the sunrise crying?   A song for you alone, a song for you alone
