He Was Me, He Was You - Remastered
Little man was hungry
they saw him as a tramp
With a love note in his pocket,
But no money for a stamp,
He just sits there in the doorway
And he sings his lonely song,
Mumbling the cold out of his hands,
Watching the shadows weave and dance,
Smiling, but in his eyes the chances are gone
He was me, He was you,
Maybe someone that you knew,
There goes everybody's brother, What's his name?
Walk on by, Pay no mind,
Heartbreaks happen all the time
Ain't it cold enough today, so let it rain
The painter tries to paint him,
And the poet, he tries to see,
I think he had a castle,
in the man he used to be,
He just stuck to us a question,
Can you tell me what you've learned?
"Nobody knows the truth," he said,
"Not till the book has all been read,
Follow the one you love instead of the road."
He was me, He was you,
Maybe someone that you knew,
There goes everybody's brother, What's his name?
Walk on by, Pay no mind,
Heartbreaks happen all the time
Ain't it cold enough today, so let it rain
He was me, He was you,
Maybe someone that you knew,
There goes everybody's brother, What's his name?
Walk on by, Pay no mind,
Heartbreaks happen all the time
Ain't it cold enough today, so let it rain
Ain't it cold enough today, let it rain
Ain't it cold enough today,
So let it rain
they saw him as a tramp
With a love note in his pocket,
But no money for a stamp,
He just sits there in the doorway
And he sings his lonely song,
Mumbling the cold out of his hands,
Watching the shadows weave and dance,
Smiling, but in his eyes the chances are gone
He was me, He was you,
Maybe someone that you knew,
There goes everybody's brother, What's his name?
Walk on by, Pay no mind,
Heartbreaks happen all the time
Ain't it cold enough today, so let it rain
The painter tries to paint him,
And the poet, he tries to see,
I think he had a castle,
in the man he used to be,
He just stuck to us a question,
Can you tell me what you've learned?
"Nobody knows the truth," he said,
"Not till the book has all been read,
Follow the one you love instead of the road."
He was me, He was you,
Maybe someone that you knew,
There goes everybody's brother, What's his name?
Walk on by, Pay no mind,
Heartbreaks happen all the time
Ain't it cold enough today, so let it rain
He was me, He was you,
Maybe someone that you knew,
There goes everybody's brother, What's his name?
Walk on by, Pay no mind,
Heartbreaks happen all the time
Ain't it cold enough today, so let it rain
Ain't it cold enough today, let it rain
Ain't it cold enough today,
So let it rain
