lyrics

Sitting here with my cat,
curled up on my lap,
listening to old songs

dreaming of loving
another human creature,
maybe it will happen tonight!

The streets are empty,
silent as a desert.
The mercury lamps flicker cold.
Rain drops fall around me,
the wind is lashing furiously,
I huddle in my coat and bow my head.
Singing this song
that no one recognizes,
maybe someone would hear me!

Hey I know this song!
I thought I was the only one!
Come on up here,
let's put it on the record player.
Dance a silly dance
I got wine if you would like some,
it's cheap, and leftover,
but not so bad i swear to you.
It's cold, and my heater's broke,
but if we drink, and if we dance we
wouldn't be so cold,
so what do you say, come on up here?

Yes, I would!
but that is just ridiculous,
because such things
never happen to me

and so I continue,
street after street,
night after night,
year after year.
In all the wide world
no one has seen me,
no one has looked into my heart.
It's not such a special heart
yet every heart wants to be seen,
I want to be seen at least once!

The night is worn,
dawn approaches,
gray light and chirpy birds.
Early risers are hurrying off to work,
I'm going home, where can I go?
Maybe tomorrow someone will recognize the song,
till' then I shall sleep
