That the nights here got cold
Lord, when you're as broke as I
When you're dry, there's nothing as welcome as rain
When you're alone, there's nothing as slow as passin' time
When you're cold, there's nothing as welcome as sunshine
There's no one left who'll forgive
Well, they have some buildings
Lord, the Helping Hand Mission man warned me
Old Frisco's a mighty rich city
That reach nearly a mile in the sky
When you're alone, there's nothing as slow as passin' time
When you're alone life just don't seem worth living
When you're cold, there's nothing as welcome as sunshine
While you're alive gotta learn to live with the pain.
Here I sit with my head in my hands
Now that ain't no lie
Watching the trains roll by
Here's a world full of people so damn many people alone
When you're afoot, Lord, there's nothing as fast as a train
But it might as well be the moon
For the links to the chain
When you're dry, there's nothing as welcome as rain
Everyone's so busy, they can't tell me the reason why
You find yourself searching your mind
You've been grown for so long
