Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Broken windows
And empty hallways
A pale dead moon
In a sky streaked with gray
Human kindness
Is overflowin'
And I think it's going to rain today
[Verse 2]
Scarecrows dressed
In the latest styles
With frozen smiles
To chase love away
Human kindness
Is overflowin'
And I think it's going to rain today
[Verse 3]
Lonely
Lonely
Tin can at my feet
Think I'll kick it down the street
That's the way to treat a friend
[Verse 4]
Bright before me
The signs implore me
Help the needy and
Show them the way
Human kindness
It's overflowin'
And I think it's going to rain today
