They've all seen the stain
His eyes were the color of the sand and the sea
Dancing up a river in the dark
On their daily bread, on their Christian names
When something strange happened
Glory train passed through him
Oh, the more he reached me
He saw how I worried sometimes
He saw me mistrusting him and still acting kind
The more he talked to me
You could complete me, I'd complete you
So he buried the coins he made in People's Park
How I worried sometimes
It seemed like he read my mind
Looking for a woman to court and spark
He thought for sure I'd seen him
All the guilty people, he said
And went looking for a woman to court and spark
Oh, but I couldn't let go of L.A.
Oh, I cleared myself, I sacrificed my blues
He was playing on the sidewalk for passing change
