John Miles - Stranger In The City lyrics

rate me

Building towers round me like they're waiting for the kill

For days I haven't eaten and I really do feel ill

If I cry for help will you hear my call

If I stumble now would you let me fall

Won't you give me a hand

Try to understand

I'm a stranger in the city

Stuck inside these streets it's like a human traffic jam

People walk right over me now they don't give a damn

If I ask for death would you give me a gun

If I took your hand would you turn and run

Won't you pity me

Just try to see

I'm a stranger in the city

All my friends were saying that the streets were paved with gold

I couldn't wait to get there from the stories I'd been told

There's everything that I could want it sounded like a dream

Chorus:

But my money's gone

And I've got no-one

Friends are nowhere to be seen

Concrete jungle all around can't here the birds and bees

I've walked for miles I can't believe what happened to the trees

If I need someone would you help me get by

If I come to you would you give it a try

I'm all alone

So far from home

I'm a stranger in the city
