Pa**enger - Stray Dog lyrics

I had fallen down again, I had nowhere to go You had bolted your doors and closed your windows Still a crack in your wall that I could see through Saw your house was empty and rode out to meet you But the city was cold confusing and vast And the light in my soul was fading fast Slung towards the back streets And the alleys where the drunks fight Walked on past the factories in ever dying sunlight I needed you I needed you I needed you But you never came for me Many years now have pa**ed She's not left my mind And memories like photographs have faded in time I walked past the cafes and the nightclubs Walked past the beggars And the ladies with their white gloves I know it won't be long now It's getting near the end My ribs are poking through and my coat is getting thin I needed you I needed you I needed you But you never came for me So I walked back to where I'd once called home But the rooms were dark and bare and the garden overgrown And the door was still locked and the windows still shut And the wall was still cracked Why did I come back? And the answer so thin left me hollow within 'cause nothing had changed except the date and my age And I still have this pain bloating my veins Thumping in my aching brain I needed you I needed you I needed you But you never came for me So I turned away from my madness Thought I saw a light flicker by the door I closed down both my eyelids and thought no more
