I'm sorry lady
for all the anger
A lonely ranger
in a land of danger
Still my heart aches
while your soul quakes
like a great lake
in a storm of anger
Crying in the dark
sleeping in the park
Life is but a walk
up the street
Is there a spark
of hope in the bleak
world that surrounds you?
I’m sorry lady
for all the hate
Love is but a faint
glow ne’er remembered
in the oh so lonely
dark and narrow
alleys of your life
Pathways of hate
The alleys of your life
ever to create
frustration you burrow
deep into the ground
choking dust
surrounds you
I cry for you
I am sorry
Lady on the bus
Your bleeding heart
in your shopping cart
dying
on the dust
