Mark Heard - Sidewalk Soliloquy lyrics

Whenever I venture from my home Why do I feel so all alone People should laugh People should love I'm in a crowd a hundred strong Watching the people walk alone Moments of life squandered away Maybe it's just a thing that I can't understand Maybe I'm just a much too simple man Whenever I smile and nod my head Folks look at me like I was dead What can I say Where can I run No one has heard me say hello They're deaf dumb and blind for all I know What can I do What can be done Maybe I'm just too soft Too easy to bruise and scar Maybe I've let my feelings go too far But if I am wrong to feel this way Then I am wrong most every day What can I do what can I say Once there was One Who spoke of this He told us why it's like it is And we're all to blame It's such a shame
