Dawn Chorus

I'm a lonely man walkin' lonely streets

I'm soaked to the skin with the pain of my unease

From such a strained existence

Oh, now

The tension in this world keeps me from sleep

I'm hungry and cold

There's a weight hangin' over my shoulders

A rain black cloud of doubt

Now, now

Have I got enough love

Have I got enough hope?

Enough strength to face the world each day

I know there's an answer somewhere in this night

I see her each time I look in your eyes

I'm walkin' in a wild place

I am bangin' on the gates

On the other side of the tracks, babe

Hoping that someone's gonna hear me pray

Oh, there's a dawn chorus breaking out all over the town

Will you say you want me?

Will I say I want you?

Will you say you love me

When I'm stripped and forced to stand up naked

And will I still love you?

The goal I want can't exist without fire

And you fire the thoughts that realize all my dreams

These are a grown man's tears

Oh, now

I lost all faith, I lost all hope

I started drinking, life became a joke

Somethin' would keep me goin'

I didn't know what it was

But I saw it each time I looked in your eyes

I'm walkin' in a wild place

I am bangin' on the gates

On the other side of the tracks, babe

Hopin' someone's gonna hear me pray

Oh, there's a dawn chorus breakin' out all over the town

Oh, my God

Why do I feel the doubt?

You could be somethin' I can't live without

Yet, from somewhere there comes an emptiness

A feeling that I can't suppress

Is this the start of the beginning or the point of no return?

Oh, now, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

There's an answer there

When I look in your eyes

I'm walkin' in a wild place

I am bangin' on the gates

On the other side of the tracks, babe

Where all my doubts are now laid away, away, away, away

I'm walkin' in a wild place

I am bangin' on the gates

On the other side of the tracks, babe

Where someone answered my prayers

Oh, there's a dawn chorus breaking out all over the town
