See the lonely man
Got his guitar in hand
Strummin' crazy tunes
On the corner of Pearl Street
Crowd gathers round
Singing sounds bitter bittersweet
Oh, on Pearl Street
Lonely man they don't understand you
See your voice isn't slicing through
Is is the cloud above their heads
Or their shackled hearts
Or is it you?
Lonely man, is it you?
Once was a man
Got no rock 'n roll band
Just his two stumbling feet
Playing lonely man
With your smooth strummin' hand
Take your music on out to the streets
Lonely man they don't understand you
See your voice isn't slicing through
Is is the cloud above their heads
Or their shackled hearts
Or is it you?
Lonely man, is it you?
