Casey joins the hallow of silent people walking down The stairway to the subway in the down below Following their footsteps through the neon corridors Of silent desperation never to a soul
The poison air he's breathing has a dirty of dying Cause it's never seen the sunshine and never felt the rain But minds the arrows and ignores the fatal echoes Of the clicking of the and the rattle of his chain
Oh she said, Casey it's been so long since seen you Here she said, just a kiss to make a smile See she said, I put on new stockings just to you Lord she said, can you only stay a while
leaves the underground and stops inside the Golden Crown For wet to wipe away the chill that's on his bones Seeing his in the lives of all the lonely men Who reach for anything thay can to keep going home
Standing in the Casey drinks his pint of bitter glancing in the mirror at the people passin' by And he stumbles as leavin' and he wonders if the reason Is the beer that's in his belly or the tear in his eye
Oh she said, I suppose you seldom think me Now she said, now that you've a of your own Still she said, it's so blessed good to feel your Lord she said, Casey a shame to be alone
Oh she said, Casey it's been so long since seen you Here she said, just a kiss to make a smile See she said, I put on new stockings just to you Lord she said, Casey can you stay a while she said, Casey it's a shame to be alone
