ERROL IN THE CITY

A new night on the street

Life couldn’t be more heartless to him

You see, his world just ain’t complete

 

Still looking for her face

In this rundown outer place

How could life make one guy so unhappy?

 

Every turn is dark, the air is cold and still

The silence takes its toll on his ever-fading will

 

It’s hard to look up high

When you feel oh-so small

And other people round you just don’t care for you at all

 

But he just won’t give up like that

He’s been going far too long and he’s had his hope squashed flat

 

Without the faith in what he knows he wouldn’t be right here today

Gotta believe in himself and without a doubt

He’ll be going the right way
