Standin' on the corner, waiting for the snow,
wishin' I's a little warmer, wond'rin' where to go...
I saw a man break down today,
break down into tears,
tonight I feel so far away from home.
Who can I confide in? Who can really hear?
Who can keep my secrets? Who can see me clear?
I saw a man break down today,
break down into tears,
tonight I feel so far away from home.
Watch out there mama with your TV blues.
Go walkin' lightly in your high-heeled shoes.
Look out there mister since ya seen so much
Go lightly flyin' on your graveyard crutch.
People seeking people, standing on the earth,
reaching for connection, they know what it's worth.
I saw a man break down today,
break down into tears,
tonight I feel so far away from home.
