Lyrics

[Verse 1] The streets of my town Are not what they were They are haloed in anger Bitter and hurt It's not so you'd notice But it's a sinister thing Like the wheels of ambition At the christening [Verse 2] So I went out walking On the streets of the dead With a chip on my shoulder Voice in my head singing You have been brought here Though you don't know what for Now the mystery train is coming Right to your door [Chorus] I hear you calling You don't have to call so loud I see you falling You don't have to walk so proud You can run all night Or we can take you where You can cry like an angel [Verse 3] There were high school night dances Whеre we played stump thе band We were raising each other In a strange land Those were hard pills to swallow But we drank 'em all down Oh those nights were too short Now they're just a little too long [Chorus] I can hear you calling You don't have to call so loud I see you falling You don't have to walk so proud You can run all night Or we can take you where You can shout out in anger You can laugh like a fool Or you can cry like an angel [Bridge] Ooh yeah Ooh [Verse 4] So look homeward baby Keep your head to the sky They will never forgive you So don't ask them to try This is your party Though it's not your ideal May we all find salvation In professions that heal [Chorus] I can hear you calling You don't have to call so loud I can see you falling You don't have to walk so proud You can run all night Or we can take you where You can shout out an answer You can laugh like a fool You can call up to heaven We'll be listening to you You can sing (Hallelujah) hallelujah (Hallelujah) You can fly like a bird Or you can cry like angel When there are no words
