CAmasey joins the hollow sound of silent people walking down,G
The stairFway to the subway in the shadows down below. E
FolloAmwing their footsteps through the neon-darkened corridors, G
Of silenFt desperation, never speaking to a soul. E
The poisFon air he's breathing has the dirty smell of dying, C Am
'Cos it's neveDmr seen the sunshine and it's never felt the rain. E
But CaseAmy minds the arrows and ignores the fatal echoes, G
Of the clickingF of the turnstiles and the rattle of his chains. E Am

"OCh," she said: "Casey, it's been so long since I've seen you. G
"HeG7re," she said: "just a kiss to maDmke a body smile.G7 C
"SeCe," she said: "I've put on new stockings just to please you. G
"LG7ord," she said. "Casey, can yoDmu only stay a while." G7 C

CaAmsey leaves the underground and stops inside The Golden Crown, G
For somethFing wet to wipe away the chill that's on his bones. E
SeeiAmng his reflection in the lives of all the loneGly men,
Who reachF for anything they can to keep from going home. E
StanFding in the corner, Casey drinks his pint of bitter, C Am
Never glancDming in the mirror at the people passing by. E
Then heAm stumbles as he's leaving and he wonders if the reason, G
Is the beeFr that's in his belly or the tear that's in his eye.E Am

"OhC," she said: "I suppose you seldom think about me. G
"NG7ow," she said: "now that you'Dmve a family of your own. G7 C
"StCill," she said: "It's so blessed good to feel your body. G
"LG7ord," she said: "Casey, it's aDm shame to be aloneG7." C
