I'm a lonely man walking lonely streets

I'm soaked to the skin with the pain of my unease

From such a strained existence



The tension in this world keeps me from sleep

I'm hungry and cold

There's a weight hanging over my shoulders

A rain black cloud of doubt



Have i got enough love

Have i got enough hope?

Enough strength to face the world each day?

I know there's an answer somewhere in this night

I see her each time i look in your eyes



I'm walking in a wild place

I am banging on the gates

On the other side of the tracks babe

Hoping that someone's gonna hear me pray



Oh there's a dawn chorus breaking out all over the town



Will you say you want me,

Wwill i say i want you?

Will you say you love me

When i'm stripped and forced to stand up naked

And will i still love you



The goal that i want can't exist without fire

And you fire the thoughts that realise all my dreams

These are a grown man's tears



I lost all faith, i lost all hope

I started drinking, life became a joke

Something would keep me going.

I didn't know what it was

But i saw it each time i looked in your eyes



I'm walking in a wild place

I am banging on the gates

On the other side of the tracks babe

Hoping that someone's gonna hear me pray



Oh there's a dawn chorus breaking out all over the town



Oh my god

Why do i feel the doubt



You give me something i can't live without

Yet from somewhere there comes an emptiness

A feeling that i can't suppress



Is this the start of the beginning or the point of no return?



There's an answer there

When i look in your eyes



I'm walking in a wild place

I am banging on the gates

On the other side of the tracks babe

Where all my doubts are now laid away away away away

I'm walking in a wild place

I am banging on the gates

On the other side of the tracks babe

Where someone answered my prayers



Oh there's a dawn chorus breaking out all over the town



(that's too sad)
