I wish I was something you would never forget But I just gotta tell you I'm like everybody else You painted me white like a saint on the rise But I stayed in my place Every road led to nowhere, every field's left with no green Every wind told me something I would never want to hear And there is darkness up above me Through these trees I feel this rain a-coming I'm alone, I won't belong in any place you could call home There's no halo behind my face and there's no air beneath my feet I can feel your pain and if you cut me I can bleed You listen to my words as you could not understand But they didn't make sense Every road led to nowhere, every eye could see the scene Every man and every woman, every plant and every tree They could all see right inside me Through my eyes I see this rain a-falling Now you know, you can be sure There ain't no place I can call home But for the little while I'll be here I'd love to feel you near For the little while I'll be here I've got to lend an ear Cos if you can believe you'll see the snow that starts to burn For the little while you'd led me home
