Would you sit with me?
Will you listen?
To my story
To my tales of heartache
To my fantasy of finding love

Will you listen?
To what I have to say
Or judge me
And just walk away
With a look of disgust

Would you sit with me?
Will you listen?
To the words of wisdom
To my problems
To my cries

Will you listen?
To what I have to say
Or disregard me
And just walk away
With pity in your eyes

Sure I may be homeless
Had it all
Lost in a moment to greed
Will you listen?
Before it happens to you

I don't need your sympathy
Your pity or disgust
Just an ear
For even a minute
I'm not asking for much

Will you listen?
So my wisdom
Will be passed on
Like a genetic code
So I can lay myself to rest

I doubt you will
You just walk past me
On these cold heartless streets
Throwing change my way
Thinking I need it more than you

I need nothing more
Than someone willing to listen
Just for a minute
It's my dying wish
Will you listen?
