The Singer Lyrics by Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds

The Singer Lyrics

    (cash, daniels)

    As i walk these narrow streets
    Where a million passin feet have trod before me
    With my guitar in my hand
    Suddenly i realize nobody knows me


    Where yesterday the multitude
    Screamed and cried my name out for a song
    Today the streets are empty
    And the crowds have all gone home


    I pass a million houses
    But there is no place that i belong
    All i knew to give you
    Was song after song after song


    All the truths i tried to tell you
    Were as distant to you as the moon
    Born 200 years too late
    And 200 years too soon


    I'm a child of this age
    Locked into the pages of your book
    And when i am but dust and clay
    And all the children stop to take a look


    Will they marvel at the miracles i did perform
    And the heights i did aspire
    Or will they tear out the pages of the book
    To light a fire


    With the rain on my face
    There is no place that i belong
    Did you forget this fucking singer so soon?
    And did you forget my song?
