I went to play on St. 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 when 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 shine

It was when my feelings meant more than sex

Yeah those were the times

Your beauty caressed my insides

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 comfort

Once in a while

And even if I'm not in your 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
