Hobo's Dream

He's walkin unsteady
Weaving through the night
He used to try toget ahead
Now he's given up the fight
He sleeps in the alley
He dreams of that girl

That girl...

He left behind when he went blind staring at the world

He thought he'd make a fortune
He barely made a dollar
Whenever he has change to spare
He always tries to call her
But he has an old number
It won't reach that girl

That girl...

He left behind when he went blind staring at the world

He thought he'd be famous by the time he was thirty
No one knows what his name is, he's ragged and dirty

Now he sleeps in the alley
He's drenched to the skin
He's just an old stranger
No one will let him in
But he sleeps like a baby
'Cause he dreams of that girl

That girl...

He left behind when he went blind staring at the world
He left behind when he went blind staring at the world
He left behind when he went blind staring at the world
