Asphalt Astronaut - Antares

the panhandler

I saw a man when I was walking downtown
He blocked the pavement in front of me
I made to cross the street to be safe, and said
I don't have any money on me

He said, I don't want your money
I just want your time
I'm 63 years old and
The only love I've got is mine

My wife took the kids
And she was right
Came home from the war
To an even bigger fight

I lost my house, I lost my job
But worst of all, people pretend like they can't see me
They look away, they cross the street
They break their backs so their eyes don't meet
The man on the street

They don't see me
Can you see me

I don't want your money
I just want your time
I'm 63 years old and
I feel like I am dying

I'm a person too
What did I ever do to you
Don't you ignore me too
