In the morning cold gray dawn Shines through my window on my bedroom walls Even in the light it's hard to see Why no woman's sleeping next to me Well I best not lose myself Cause then I wouldn't have nobody else To tell the things that a dreamer dreams When he's down and life is being mean Take a walk down Bleeker Street (there's people down, it seems I'm not the only) Trampled underneath the feet of lonely If I wasn't such a comely man It wouldn't be so hard to understand Why every time I find someone I wind up reeling from her smoking gun It get's hard to be myself When I've got to keep my love on the shelf Cause even deserts need a little rain To end the drought and wash away the pain Take a walk down Bleeker Street (there's people down, it seems I'm not the only) Trampled underneath the feet of lonely If I wasn't such a comely man It wouldn't be so hard to understand I've tried so hard but I can't see Why no one waits at home for me Spent time watchin' falling rain Count the droplets on my window pane Looking for a lover in the chilly wet Rainy days are gone I haven't found her yet I ain't hard to satisfy No, I never been the kind to justify If I deserve a little misery Well then I guess I'd better let it be Take a walk down Bleeker Street (there's people down, it seems I'm not the only) Trampled underneath the feet of lonely Well if I wasn't such a comely man It wouldn't be so hard to understand I've tried so hard but I can't see Why no one waits at home for me
