See the man sittin' at the corner
He looks at life and he knows he's lost
He thinks of times when he wasn't a loner
Of
times and people, people that he knew from his past
Wanders on trough the streets in the city
A place he used to know
People
laugh, not ashamed of his pity
But time grows like his pain and his sorrow
We know he's old, but how long will he last
He
never thought, that life would ever
Ever pass him by so fast
Sometimes it feels like life's a goodbye
Lookin' in from the
outside
You never turn around, you've got to hide
Life is only a goodbye
Father's home, he looks into the mirror
Spits at
his reflection
Hears a voice saying "You're a sinner"
And he feels that he can't take the rejection no more
Family's home,
feeling safe and peaceful
Don't hear the footsteps in the night
T.V. plays, while father shoots to kill 'em
When they asked him
why, he said that life's a goodbye
We know he's sick, and we know he won't last
He never thought that life would ever
Ever
pass him by so fast
Sometimes it feels like life's a goodbye
Lookin' in from the outside
You never turn around, you've got to
hide
Life is only a goodbye
He never thought, that life would ever
Ever pass him by so fast
Sometimes it feels like
life's a goodbye
Lookin' in from the outside
You never turn around, you've got to hide
Life is only a goodbye
Sometimes it
feels like life's a goodbye
Lookin' in from the outside
You never turn around, you've got to hide
Life is only a
goodbye
