"Man On The Corner" lyrics
See the lonely man there on the corner
What he's waiting for, I don't know
But he waits every day now
He's just waiting for something to show
And nobody knows him, and nobody cares
'Cause there's no hiding place
There's no hiding place
For you
Looking everywhere at no one
He sees everything and nothing at all, oh
When he shouts, nobody listens
Where he leads, no one will go, oh
He's a lonely man there on the corner
What he's waiting for, I don't know
But he waits every day now
He's just waiting for something to show
And nobody knows him, and nobody cares
'Cause there's no hiding place
There's no hiding place
For you and me
Are we just like all the rest?
We're looking too hard for something he's got
Or moving too fast to rest
But like a monkey on your back, you need it
But do you love it enough to leave it all?
Just like the lonely man there on the corner
What he's waiting for, I don't know
But he waits every day now
He's just waiting for that somethin' to show
Who, the lonely man there on the corner
What he's waiting for, I don't know
But he's there every day now
He's just waiting for that something to show
Who, the lonely man there on the corner
What he's waiting for, I don't know
But he waits every day now
He's just waiting for that something to show
What he's waiting for, I don't know
But he waits every day now
He's just waiting for something to show
And nobody knows him, and nobody cares
'Cause there's no hiding place
There's no hiding place
For you
Looking everywhere at no one
He sees everything and nothing at all, oh
When he shouts, nobody listens
Where he leads, no one will go, oh
He's a lonely man there on the corner
What he's waiting for, I don't know
But he waits every day now
He's just waiting for something to show
And nobody knows him, and nobody cares
'Cause there's no hiding place
There's no hiding place
For you and me
Are we just like all the rest?
We're looking too hard for something he's got
Or moving too fast to rest
But like a monkey on your back, you need it
But do you love it enough to leave it all?
Just like the lonely man there on the corner
What he's waiting for, I don't know
But he waits every day now
He's just waiting for that somethin' to show
Who, the lonely man there on the corner
What he's waiting for, I don't know
But he's there every day now
He's just waiting for that something to show
Who, the lonely man there on the corner
What he's waiting for, I don't know
But he waits every day now
He's just waiting for that something to show
