I'm the kind of guy Who never sits on an ugly truth When the hard winds blow And the fishing boats are moored There's few gulls to be found
As breezes go this is a beauty The combinations of grey's in the sky The tumbling of trash cans is music to my ears The slippery streets, a hazard to the unskilled The lights in the windows become beacons
Lost are the die-hard umbrellas Seeking shelter under the overpass They always end up there through no fault of their own To be in the company of a vagrant wishing for a drug or drink Something to numb the sounds of the world's howls of transition
