I see him there most every day

A lonely man and his guitar


But in his eyes, I see the pain


And all the faces and the places, all the trouble that he'd seen, oh yeah




There was a time, there was a day


They'd come from miles around, they all knew his name

But day's gone by are gone, now only memories remain





Then he starts to play, suddenly the pain slowly fades away

Oh tattered, torn and frayed, there's a place within his heart


He'll always save, the song and emotion


Know he's got to his dyin' day, song and emotion




Well you can hear him play


Well if you listen, you can still hear him say

Better run for cover, 'cause it looks like rain again


It looks like rain again




And now his life is but a shadow of his dreams


The calm is over, been stormin' for years


He turns, he leans his shoulder to the wind

Lost again





All along, on his way to the top

Somehow, somewhere, something was lost


But through it all he knew his only friend


That was, song and emotion

Know he's got to his dyin' day, song and emotion





Where are they now

Where are those people who promised him his dreams?


Where are they now for this lonely creature on the streets?


Broken, humbled by the cold reality

Life at the top ain't always what it seems





Now better run for cover, 'cause it looks like rain again

You best be careful of what you dream


Of what you dream, oh yeah, oh oh yeah, oh

Oh yeah




Song and emotion

Song and emotion


Song and emotion

Song and emotion
