This song on two albums, and was first released on the Aerie album, and has also been released on the The Country Roads Collection album.
Casey joins the hallow sound of people walking down The stairway to the subway in the shadows down Following their footsteps the neon darkened corridors Of desperation never speaking to a soul
The poison air he's has a dirty smell of dying Cause it's never the sunshine and it's never felt the rain But Casey minds the and ignores the fatal echoes Of the of the turnstyle and the rattle of his chain
Oh she said, it's been so long since I've seen you Here she said, just a kiss to make a body See she said, I put on new stockings to please you Lord she said, Casey can you only a while
Casey leaves the underground and stops inside the Golden For something wet to wipe the chill that's on his bones his reflection in the lives of all the lonely men Who for anything thay can to keep from going home
Standing in the corner Casey his pint of bitter Never in the mirror at the people passin' by And he stumbles as he's leavin' and he if the reason Is the beer in his belly or the tear that's in his eye
Oh she said, I suppose you seldom about me Now she said, now that a family of your own Still she said, it's so good to feel your body Lord she said, Casey a shame to be alone
Oh she said, Casey been so long since I've seen you Here she said, a kiss to make a body smile See she said, I put on new stockings just to you Lord she said, can you only stay a while Lord she said, Casey it's a to be alone
