Lyrics The Singer - Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
As
I
walk
these
narrow
streets
Where
a
million
passin
feet
have
trod
before
me
With
my
guitar
in
my
hand
Suddenly
I
realize
nobody
knows
me
Where
yesterday
the
multitude
Screamed
and
cried
my
name
out
for
a
song
Today
the
streets
are
empty
And
the
crowds
have
all
gone
home
I
pass
a
million
houses
But
there
is
no
place
that
I
belong
All
I
knew
to
give
you
Was
song
after
song
after
song
All
the
truths
I
tried
to
tell
you
Were
as
distant
to
you
as
the
moon
Born
200
years
too
late
And
200
years
too
soon
I'm
a
child
of
this
age
Locked
into
the
pages
of
your
book
And
when
I
am
but
dust
and
clay
And
all
the
children
stop
to
take
a
look
Will
they
marvel
at
the
miracles
I
did
perform
And
the
heights
I
did
aspire
Or
will
they
tear
out
the
pages
of
the
book
To
light
a
fire
With
the
rain
on
my
face
There
is
no
place
that
I
belong
Did
you
forget
this
fucking
singer
so
soon?
And
did
you
forget
my
song?
