Saw a man on a corner and I watched as he played A song on a flute that told of his days In a story of torture that came without sound This music of misery won't let me down
Shadows keep hanging over me Like a clown of defeat My conscience is my integrity So all eyes on me
You've got to stop crying over me I could learn but what a man would I be I could run away just to hear you say Let's all just get along Let's just all walk away
All eyes on me
Saw a man on a corner and I watched as he played In a circle of chalk that he'd marked on the pavement He told of his life and a web that he'd made A circle of misery, a circle of pain
