The Merchant

Alone in a crowded room She knows it well A thousand things to say No one to tell She felt it all a time Or two before I know she will again A thousand more Alive, are you living A lie, are you living The merchant sails the sea To parts unknown A house on every beach But not one a home The sea can hide a man From prying eyes Alone he sheds his tears And feels his highs Alive, are you living A lie, are you living The merchant and the girl Are worlds apart A different time and place But same in heart Neither crowd nor seas Could make them strong I hope they find a place Where they belong
