See him there

Most every day

A lonely man and his guitar

In his eyes, I see the pain

All the faces and the places

All the trouble that he's seen



There was a time

There was a day

They'd come from miles around

They all knew his name

But days gone by are gone

Now only memories remain



Then he starts to play

Suddenly the pain slowly fades away

Tattered, torn, and frayed

There's a place within his heart he'll always save

For the song and emotion

Know he's got to his dying day

Song and emotion

You can hear him play

You can still hear him say

"Better run for cover, 'cuz it looks like rain again!"



And now his life is but a shadow of his dreams

The calm is over, been stormin' for years

He turns and leans his shoulder to the wind

Lost again



All alone on his way to the top

Somehow, somewhere, something was lost

Through it all he knew his only friend was

Song and emotion

Know he's got to his dying day

Song and emotion



Where are they now?

Where are those people who promised him his dreams?

Where are they now for this lonely creature on the streets,

Broken, humbled by the cold reality?

Life at the top ain't always what it seems

Oh, better run for cover 'cuz it looks like rain again!

You best be careful of what you dream

Of what you dream



Song and emotion...

Song and emotion...

Song and emotion...

Song and emotion
