[Verse 1]
As I walk these narrow streets where a million passin feet have trod before me
With my guitar in my hand,, suddenly I realize nobody knows me
Where yesterday the multitude screamed and cried my name out for a song
Today the streets are empty and the crowds have all gone home
[Verse 2]
I pass a million houses but there is no place that I belong
All I knew to give you was song after song after song
All the truths I tried to tell you were as distant to you as the moon
Born two-hundred years too late and two-hundred years too soon
[Verse 3]
I'm a child of this age locked into the pages of your book
And when I am but dust and clay and all the children stop to take a look
Will they marvel at the miracles I did perform and the heights I did aspire
Or will they tear out the pages of the book to light a fire
[Outro]
With the rain on my face, there is no place where I belong
Did you forget this singer so soon? And did you forget my song?
