The Lonely Life
What if I did not love you
Where would that leave me?
Would I wonder through the avenues
Under a pall of misery?
Would I be faced down in a gutter
With cheap whiskey on my breath?
The lonely life of a writer
Whose words could not pay his debts
Singing, please don't, please don't pass me by
I am alive, oh, can't you see?
That I've been blinded completely
Please don't, please don't pass me by
I am alive, oh, can't you see
That I am pleading for your mercy?
What if we become strangers
Would you notice my face in a crowd?
And could you hear the sorrow in my voice
Helplessly crying your name out loud?
Would I be searching for a savior
Burned and burning with regret?
The lonely life of a writer
With one last desperate request
Singing, please don't, please don't pass me by
I am alive, oh, can't you see
That I've been blinded completely?
Please don't, please don't pass me by
I am alive, oh, can't you see
That I am pleading for your mercy?
I've been on the lam
Being hunted, so confused
They say time and tide, it waits for no man
But I was just hoping
These storm filled skies would clear
Please don't, please don't pass me by (please don't, please don't pass me by)
Please don't, please don't pass me by (please don't, please don't pass me by)
Please don't, please don't pass me by
I am alive, oh, can't you see
That I am pleading for your mercy?
Where would that leave me?
Would I wonder through the avenues
Under a pall of misery?
Would I be faced down in a gutter
With cheap whiskey on my breath?
The lonely life of a writer
Whose words could not pay his debts
Singing, please don't, please don't pass me by
I am alive, oh, can't you see?
That I've been blinded completely
Please don't, please don't pass me by
I am alive, oh, can't you see
That I am pleading for your mercy?
What if we become strangers
Would you notice my face in a crowd?
And could you hear the sorrow in my voice
Helplessly crying your name out loud?
Would I be searching for a savior
Burned and burning with regret?
The lonely life of a writer
With one last desperate request
Singing, please don't, please don't pass me by
I am alive, oh, can't you see
That I've been blinded completely?
Please don't, please don't pass me by
I am alive, oh, can't you see
That I am pleading for your mercy?
I've been on the lam
Being hunted, so confused
They say time and tide, it waits for no man
But I was just hoping
These storm filled skies would clear
Please don't, please don't pass me by (please don't, please don't pass me by)
Please don't, please don't pass me by (please don't, please don't pass me by)
Please don't, please don't pass me by
I am alive, oh, can't you see
That I am pleading for your mercy?
