You were in the city one night all alone
Waiting for a taxi that could take you home
You saw a man walking down the street, towards you
And you could see he had no teeth in his upper jaw
He had dirt in his hair, he had dirt everywhere
His clothes didn't fit, and one eye was hit
He asked you if you had a minute to talk
You said you didn't talk to strangers
and you started to walk
His eyes looked sad
and he asked you why you acted like this,
was it because he looked so bad
I know I scare you, but I just wanted to say
that you're the most beautifiul I've seen today
You said, thank you very much
but please now leave me alone
He said where are you going
You said I'm going home
Oh please would you invite me
to your house sometime
you have just seen mine,
it's here on the ground
He took a bottle from his jacket and he said cheers
And you felt it was gone that feeling of fear
You said what happened to you,
how could end up like this
You must have had your choices,
so tell me what this is
He said, you don't know a thing about me
All you know is only what you see
Even if I've lost the most of my brain
I still can see the sun
and I can feel when it rains
I tried to be friendly, I tried to me nice
But you turned me your back
and you were chilly as ice
I didn't ask you for money
I asked you for words
It's not my life that bothers,
it's the way you act that hurts
You said you were sorry
but how could you know
that someone like him
suddenly could do
But then you talked until the taxi arrived
You said you had to go
you said goodnight
There's only one thing
I wanna tell you before you go
I know you wanna get home
I know you do
I just wanted to tell you,
I just wanted to say
That I'll remember with a smile this day
