John Miles - Stranger In The City Lyrics
Buildings tower round me like they're waiting for the kill.For days I haven't eaten and I really do feel ill.If I cry for help, will you hear my call?If I stumble now, would you let me fall?Won't you give me a hand?Try to understand,I'm a stranger in the city.Stuck inside these streets it's like a human traffic jam.People walk right over me now, they don't give a damn.If I ask for death, would you give me a gun?If I took your hand, would you turn and run?Won't you pity me,Just try to see,I'm a stranger in the city.All my friends were saying that the streets were paved with gold.I couldn't wait to get there from the stories I'd been told.There's everything that I could want, it sounded like a dream.But my money's goneAnd I've got no-one.Friends are nowhere to be seen.Concrete jungle all around can't hear the birds and bees.I've walked for miles, I can't believe what happened to the trees.If I need someone, would you help me to get by?If I come to you, would you give it a try?I'm all alone,So far from home.I'm a stranger in the city.
