The minister steps right over him
From theatre to the car
His colleague thinks the outstretched hand
Is one offence too far
Whatever happened to make this place The only place called home
The loneliness that burns so deep For friends who never come
The shadow in the doorway barely moves Denied the right to security
Days can turn to endless years As empty as,
as empty as,
as empty as eternity
The shadow in the doorway barely
moves
Denied the right to security
Days can turn to endless years As empty as,
as empty as,
as empty as eternity
One day the dreams inside his head
The warmth of love on a winter's night
Long summer days of laughter
