Count the cost of living in the city
Count the cost of living in the past
Sell your love for money it's a pity
Don't you see the faces move too fast
See the beggar standing on the corner
Lacking all the world has to give
Watch the hope inside him slowly dying
'Cause he needs the kiss of tenderness
Lovers and strangers
Running so desperately
And now you've lost the love that you have cried for
They didn't want to take you by the hand
You see the friends and lovers you once had
Like a stranger they all pass you by
