TEARS IN THE NIGHT

He looks up at the sky, so dark and grey
And knows that rain is on the way
He walks along a busy street
Smiling and greeting those along the way
While no one knows the lonliness that's inside
He looks into faces he never sees
Then goes silently on his way

No one wants him, no one cares
And he asks himself 'Why?'
But he doesn't say a single word
As he looks back to the sky

His heart is as heavy as the clouds overhead
He doesn't want to be here in this rain
He wants to be somewhere that's cheerful
But there is no place but home..
.. again ..

Back at home he is lonlier still
And softly he starts to cry
Because he feels that the world is such a wonderful place
And it has slowly passed him by.
