"Oh" she said,"Casey, it's been so long since I've seen you"
"Oh" she said,"I suppose you seldom think about me"
"See" she said,"I've put on new stockings just to please you"
'Cause it's never seen the sunshine and never felt the rain
Following their footsteps through the neon-darkened corridors
But Casey minds the arrows and ignores the fatal echoes
And,"Now" she said,"Now that you've a family of your own"
"See" she said,"I've put on new stockings just to please you"
And,"Lord" she said,"Casey, can you only stay a while?"
"Oh" she said,"Casey, it's been so long since I've seen you"
Seeing his reflection in the lives of all the lonely men
Of silent desperation, never speakin' to a soul
For something wet to wash away the chill that's in his bone
Is the beer that's in his belly or the tear that's in his eye
Casey leaves the underground and stops inside the Golden Crown
"Here" she said,"Just a kiss to make a body smile"
"Still" she said,"It's so blessed good to feel your body"
Standin' in the corner Casey drinks his pint of bitter
"Here" she said,"Just a kiss to make a body smile"
And,"Lord" she said,"Casey, it's a shame to be alone"
Twistin' on the turnstiles and the rattle of his chains
Never glancing in the mirror at the people passing by
The poison air he's breathin' has the dirty smell of dying
And he stumbles as he's leaving and he wonders if the reason
And,"Lord" she said,"Casey, can you only stay a while?"
Who reach for any thing they can to keep from goin' home
