The Loner

As I walk down the streets of pain
People stop to call my name
I just look down and close my eyes
While they try to say something nice
I don’t care what these idiots say
I just want to go my way
I wish they would leave me alone
Under the rain and cold to the bone

I am teary-eyed, don’t look at me
I want some peace, don’t talk to me
Don’t smile at me, I’m feeling down
Just leave me be to roam about town

Past the shops I go through the center square
Up the hill and back when there’s no one there
The graveyard seems to keep me company
They don’t stare at me, they leave me be
I lay myself in the alleys of dirt
While suspicious folks are on alert

I am teary-eyed, don’t look at me
I want some peace, don’t talk to me
Don’t smile at me, I’m feeling down
Just leave me be to roam about town

Do not be mean but understand
A man like me cannot command
The whole wide world as we can see
And all its troubles so leave me be
Just let me through when we meet each other
I would appreciate it if you won’t be a bother

I am teary-eyed, don’t look at me
I want some peace, don’t talk to me
Don’t smile at me, I’m feeling down
Just leave me be to roam about town
