Down on the Street
Rain pours down from the midnight sky, shining on the street
Shadow in the doorway, sound of running feet
Siren in the distance, trouble in the air
Thunder rolls across the sky, no shelter anywhere
Down on the street, down on the street
Underneath the bridges, traffic overhead
In between the pitches and the cardboard beds
Fire in the darkness, comfort in the cold
Night is black and starless, everything on hold
Down on the street, down on the street
Living on the margins
Living on the edge
Standing in the shadows
Standing on the ledge
Then the day is breaking
Bringing what it may
Lighting up the debris of another day
Sleeping bag is rigid, frozen to the stone
Nowhere else to turn to, always alone
Down on the street, down on the street
Rain pours down from the midnight sky, shining on the street
Shadow in the doorway, sound of running feet
Siren in the distance, trouble in the air
Thunder rolls across the sky, no shelter anywhere
Down on the street, down on the street
Underneath the bridges, traffic overhead
In between the pitches and the cardboard beds
Fire in the darkness, comfort in the cold
Night is black and starless, everything on hold
Down on the street, down on the street
Living on the margins
Living on the edge
Standing in the shadows
Standing on the ledge
Then the day is breaking
Bringing what it may
Lighting up the debris of another day
Sleeping bag is rigid, frozen to the stone
Nowhere else to turn to, always alone
Down on the street, down on the street
Rain pours down from the midnight sky, shining on the street
