somebody nobody knows

Lyrics

alone in a barroom, a young girl is sitting, and smiling, at nothing at all, and she stares now and then, at the eyes of the men, in the mirror that hangs on the wall, she's waiting for someone and knowing there's no one, who cares if she comes or she goes, just a soul in the shadows the world never sees, she's somebody nobody knows, someone no-one's ever known, cryin' where no-one can hear, somebody's dying alone, in a city, where nobody cares, down in the gutter, an old man had fallen, like someone the world threw away, and the late crowd was leaving, and nobody even, took time to look down where he lay, the old man was crying and helplessly tryin', to wipe off the stain from his clothes, just a soul in the shadows, that life left behind, he's somebody nobody knows, someone no-one's ever known, cryin' where no-one can hear, somebody's dying alone, in a city, where nobody cares, in a city, where nobody cares
