Kris Kristofferson - Somebody Nobody Knows lyrics

Alone in a barroom a young girl is sitting And smiling at nothing at all And she stares now and then at the eyes of the men In the mirror that hangs on the wall She's waiting for someone and knowing there's no one Who cares if she comes or she goes Just a soul in the shadows the world never sees She's somebody nobody knows Chorus: Someone no one's ever known Crying where no one can hear Somebody's dying alone In a city where nobody cares Down in the gutter an old man has fallen Like somebody the world threw away And the late crowd was leaving, and nobody even Took the time to look down where he lay The old man was crying and helplessly trying To wipe off the stain from his clothes Just a soul in the shadows that life left behind He's somebody nobody knows Chorus: Someone no one's ever known Crying where no one can hear Somebody's dying alone In a city where nobody cares
