| [00:10] |
I sleep in a storefront doorway |
| [00:15] |
You can see me everywhere |
| [00:19] |
As I hold my hand out for money |
| [00:24] |
No-body seems to care |
| [00:29] |
They don't want to know my story |
| [00:33] |
They've heard it all before |
| [00:37] |
I'm just another beggar on the street |
| [00:42] |
Who always asks for more |
| [00:48] |
Let me lie down in green pastures |
| [00:52] |
Let me gaze upon the stars |
| [00:56] |
Let me wake to the sound of birdsong |
| [01:01] |
And the playing of guitars |
| [01:05] |
Let me roll in the arms of someone |
| [01:08] |
Whose smile is the light of dawn |
| [01:12] |
And I will lay me down in peace at last |
| [01:17] |
To a new day being born |
| [01:30] |
My body's thin and dirty |
| [01:34] |
And I'm shaking from the cold |
| [01:38] |
There's no way out but further down |
| [01:42] |
And I'll die before I'm old |
| [01:46] |
Do not worry, keep on walking |
| [01:50] |
You can turn the other way |
| [01:54] |
I'm not in the mood for talking |
| [01:58] |
And I've nothing left to say |
| [02:05] |
Let me lie down in green pastures |
| [02:09] |
Let me gaze upon the stars |
| [02:13] |
Let me wake to the sound of birdsong |
| [02:17] |
And the playing of guitars |
| [02:21] |
Let me roll in the arms of someone |
| [02:24] |
Whose smile is the light of dawn |
| [02:29] |
And I will lay me down in peace at last |
| [02:32] |
To a new day being born |
| [03:10] |
In this brutal land of plenty |
| [03:14] |
It's only plenty for the few |
| [03:18] |
And my pocket's always empty |
| [03:22] |
And there's nothing I can do |
| [03:26] |
Nothing for the needy |
| [03:30] |
And only pity for the poor |
| [03:34] |
I'm still sleeping in a doorway |
| [03:37] |
And I can't take it anymore |
| [03:44] |
Let me lie down in green pastures |
| [03:48] |
Let me gaze upon the stars |
| [03:52] |
Let me wake to the sound of birdsong |
| [03:56] |
And the playing of guitars |
| [04:00] |
Let me roll in the arms of someone |
| [04:04] |
Whose smile is the light of dawn |
| [04:08] |
And I will lay me down in peace at last |
| [04:13] |
To a new day being born |
| [04:18] |
Lay me down in peace at last |
| [04:22] |
To a new day being born |
