Russell Crowe - Charlie's Song lyrics

(Crowe) One of these streets The city of dreams Wakes anticipating In the doorway I lean On the corner of 44th & 9th Ain't nothing to be seen But this is where Lennie lives The pain gets worse But I ignore it It don't really hurt if there ain't a pill for it I see so many blackbirds The end of it all My luck's a baby sister You gotta be responsible You listen to her talking 'bout the colour of her hair You gotta notice sooner or later If it starts wearing thin Charlie told me that he didn't understand How I could do anything but sing with the band I said Charlie I still wear the scars from letting my emotions ride Touring bar to bar Something had to stop me Something had to make me keep it in I'm cheered by the thought Of so much thinking Sad song singers Never depress me So much to say she'd buy Ten stories a day He'd like wine with the west wind If you are going that way Everything new carries it's threat I work myself open I'm so deep in debt I've stopped working I'm waiting for the chains Perspectives your cloud baby Here comes the rain
