Vagabond

Lyrics

I finished my drink and stepped outside, outside it was cold I was walking alone through the streets, the streets were empty He was staring at me from a corner of the street Yes, I was drunk, but he was totally wasted An empty bottle in his hand I slowly stepped forward Then he reached out his other hand, the one that was empty He begged me for small change I gave him everything I had You could see that he was under the spell of sadness And then he said 'Why can't I be like you? You're young and you're practically untouchable So kind to help me through this rather difficult time' I invited him to come and sleep at my place So he could eat and wash the dirt from his face Hardly recognizable, this different person looked at me He was holding a picture of a family and then he said 'Why can't I be with them? I want to be with them forever And I love them more than anybody could ever love someone A fatal accident stopped my once almost perfect life Now I'm a useless wreck waiting for salvation Wish they were here Wish I was there'
