- Robert Cray Night Patrol 歌詞
- Robert Cray
- See him cuddled in the shadows
Sleepin on his cardboard bed
Using rags for a pillow
Where he lays his unwashed head
His blankets old newspaper
Not much good against the snow
See so many like him out there
When you walk the night patrol
When you walk the night patrol
Oh, you wonder where he came from
Where hes gonna go
Was it a woman or a bottle?
Thats brought him down so low
Whats happened to his family?
Do they know hes out here in the cold?
Hes just a nameless soldier
Marching on the night patrol
Marching on the night patrol
Like that girl on the corner
She cant be more than seventeen
Shes run away from somewhere
Taking nothing but her dreams
Now those dreams are lying shattered
As the street exacts its toll
And shes just another victim
Lost out on the night patrol
Oh, you could ask me why Im out here
Where do I fit into the scene?
Now Im drawing unemployment
Got replaced by a machine
And Im tortured by my bad habits
Sometimes, I lose this struggle to control
And the street has its attractions
When you walk the night patrol
When you walk the night patrol
