Last Bench

Climbed up the ladder

But I fell right down

Haven't got a stitch

So I'll wear a frown

It needs a miracle

For the blind to see

The bridge of hope

And this chestnut tree



One day you were there

And then you were gone

Up for the ride

But got dragged along

Down at the heel

But I must admit

New pairs of shoes

Fall to pieces, bit by bit



Every street is mean

In this dark city

For a lost stranger

There is no pity

I'll keep on walking

From dusk through dawn

This song I'll keep singing

For you, to forewarn



Two steps forward

And four steps back

I climbed up the ladder

But I fell right back

I'm down at the heel

But I must admit

New pairs of shoes

Fall to pieces, bit by bit
