Strange things happen in the city Strange things happen in the street Here I am, here I am out here walkin' Walkin' in wilderness so deep And in every passing car I hear her callin' In every one she speeds away Hey Lord, help me now because I'm leanin' And I don't want to fall away All my life I've held this hammer Hammered bolders into stones Now I choke on tears of anger And I am quickly growin' cold Lord, I wish that you could see me I stagger now on wounded Atlas Nothing else but blood and bones Lord, help me now because I'm drowning My boat don't know the way to shore Now I find myself in Kansas Here I am, here I am with aging hustler Born without a mother, born without a soul I ask somebody for a quater There was someone for me to phone Lord, don't you hear me, I am calling Lord, help me now, don't let me fall I find myself in Charlotte, find myself in Jacksonville Here I am, I'm disappearing There's nothing left for me to kill In every train that's running by me I hear her singin in the wind Lord, help me now, I'm going over Lord, help me now, I'm going down Lord, don't you hear me cryin Don't you hear me sayin' goodbye
