Intro: Am
AmCasey joins the hollow sound of Gsilent people walking down
The Fstairway to the subway and the Emshadows down below
AmFollowing the footsteps through the Gneon darkened corridor
Of Fsilent desperation, never Emspeaking to a Amsoul
The Fpoison air he's breathing has a Amdirty smell of dying
Cause it's Gnever seen the sunshine and it's Emnever felt the
rain
AmCasey minds the arrows and igGnores the fatal echoes
Of the Fclicking of the turnstile and the Emrattle of the
Amchains
&quCot;Oh", she said "Casey it's been so long sGince I've seen you"
"Here," she said "Just a kiss Cto make a body smile"
"See," she said "I've put on new stockings just to please
Gyou"
"Lord," she said "Casey can yCou only stay a while"
Instrumental:
Am G C Am
AmCasey leaves the underground and Gstops inside the golden
crown
For Fsomething wet to wipe away the Emchill that's in his bones
AmSeeing his reflection in the Glives of all the lonely men
Who Freach for any thing they can to Emkeep from going Amhome
FStanding in the corner, Casey Amdrinks his pint of bitter
Never Gglancing in the mirror at the Empeople passing by
He Amstumbles as he's leaving and he Gwonders if the reason
Is the Fbeer that's in his bell or the Emtear that's in his Ameye
&qCuot;Oh", she said "I suppose you seldGom think about me"
"Now", she said, "Now that you've a Cfamily of your own
"Still", she said "It's so blesses gooGd to feel your body
"Lord", she said "Casey it's Ca shame to be alone"
