Man On The Corner

Genesis





See the lonely man there on the corner,

What he's waiting for, I don't know,

But he waits everyday now.

He's just waiting for something to show.



And nobody knows him,

And nobody cares,

'Cos there's no hiding place,

There's no hiding place - for you.



Looking everywhere at no one,

He sees everything and nothing at all - oh.

When he shouts nobody listens,

Where he leads no one will go - oh.



He's a lonely man, there on the corner,

What he's waiting for, I don't know,

But he waits everyday now.

He's just waiting for something to show - oh.



Nobody knows him,

And nobody cares,

'Cos there's no hiding place,

There's no hiding place - for you and me.



Are we just like all the rest,

We're looking too hard for something he's got

Or moving too fast to rest.

But like a monkey on your back you need it.

But do you love it enough to leave it - ah.



Just like the lonely man there on the corner,

What he's waiting for, I don't know - oh.

But he waits every day now.

He's just waiting for that something to show - oh.



Who's the lonely man there on the corner,

What he's waiting for, I don't know.

But he's there every day now.

And he's just waiting for something to show - oh.



Who's the lonely man there on the corner,

What he's waiting for, I don't know.

Oh but he waits every day now.

He's just waiting for that something to show
