The Corner Dwellers

Standing under an overpass in the rain
Looks like we’ve been stranded once again
And there is not a lonelier sound
That the wheels on the ground above

The cars pass by and so does a normal life
And why are we left behind?
As our dreams die
We got so much more in common
With the corner dwellers

Sitting next to a brand new friend of mine
Shares his fifth of jim with me
Got a twinkle in his eye
Beats the hell out of everyones cold stare
Looking but not really there
But we catch the unprepared, sometimes

It’s him and me, invisible ghosts of the street
Every grin we share is like a prayer
Committed to the song we sing
And it goes

Give me hope
I’ve got nowhere else to go
I don’t know
If I can wake another day
In the cold
On my own
Give me hope
