I went to play on Saint-John's Street

I was hoping that you would come and see me

And we could finally meet

But you never showed up

Even though I played a whole week

Well, you must have someone

I hope that he's a nice guy

Yes I hope that someone

Knows how to make you smile

And went you're down

He holds you when you cry

Without having a reason

Without even asking why

Cause I know

You have sorrow in your eyes

And I know

That it's been there for a long long while

And I know, but I don't mind

So do I, we're both the same kind

I saw you a few years ago

But for you, I was only a child

You probably don't remember me

But I do, you sure made me shy

It was when my feelings

Meant more than sex

Those were the times

Your beauty caressed my inside

Like a warm summer wind

Blowing on chimes

But now I see the sorrow in your eyes

And I know

That it's been there for a long long while

And I know, but I don't mind

So do I, we're both the same kind

And as I savour this bottle of wine

I'll try to forget this cruel world full of crime

And I'll sure think of you for confort once in a while

And even if I'm not in you're heart

Well, you're in mine

Cause I know, you have sorrow in your eyes

And I know

That it's been there for a long long while

And I know, yeah but I don't mind

So do I, we're both the same kind

Yes we're both the same kind
