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
