Tell me your long story child
Dont leave out a line
Tell me your sad story a while
And I might tell you mine

Share a drink with me tonite
Go ahead, pull up a chair
All I've enjoyed is lonliness
And all the heardache I can bare

Sit for a minute and talk to me
Tell me all your fears
I'll listen all you want me to
Tell me, what is it you hold dear?

See, I don't pretend to know too much
About anything at all
But I've had my share of problems
Both much too big and much too small

So stay for just a few minutes, boy
You'll see that we agree
'Cause I know that you're unhappy, boy
I can tell you're just like me

Don't just walk away, child
You know I speak the truth
I had that same look about me
Back when I, too, owned my youth

Please don't leave me alone again
I cannot bare the pain
Don't let me die here knowing
That all was done in vain.
