Lyrics

I was waiting for the sun
Then I walked on home alone
What I didn't know
Was he was waiting for
You to fall
So I never made amends
For the sake of no one else
For the simple reason
That he was waiting for
You to fall
It was not lost on me
It was not lost on me
Walkin' on down the road
Looking for a friendly handout
Somethin' might ease my soul
So I kept my spirits high
Entertaining passers-by
Wrapped in my confusion
While he was waiting for
You to fall
It was not lost on me
It was not lost on me
Walkin' on down the road
Looking for a friendly handout
Somethin' might ease my soul
It was not lost on me
It was not lost on me
Walkin' on down the road
Walkin' on down the road
Walkin' on down the road
Walkin' on down the road
