David



Well I met him outside a hostel door

He said I'll tell you mine if you tell me yours

I know you think it's shifty for
a man in his fifties to be
sleeping in a hostel dorm

But I used to be a welder by trade
Used to work by the water where the ships get made
But no ship yard will take me now
My hands are too shaky now
And I've spend all my money before I get paid

And I said David, don't you think it's strange

While you were in a dark room
How the world went and changed

Looking in your eyes, I think you know

That David, we lost you
Lost you a long time ago
Oh, ooo, oh

Oh, ooo, oh,ooo

Oh, ooo, oh,ooo

He leans his head against the hostel wall

Said I have an ex-wife that doesn't hear me
And a kid that doesn't call
And every month I'm call short
With my ******* child support
And the court says that I'm reckless and irresponsible

Cause it was never part of the plan to be
a middle aged man to be
sat outside a hostel
Shaking stranger's hands
But I've drunk away my wealth now
I'm a picture of bad health
And I'm a shadow of a shadow of a former self

And I said David, don't you think it's strange

For years you're walking
And how the world went and changed

I hear it in your voice, I think you know

That David, we lost you
Lost you a long time ago
Oh, ooo, oh,ooo

Oh, ooo, oh,ooo

Oh, ooo, oh,ooo

Oh, Nooo

Oh, ooo, oh,ooo

Oh, ooo, oh,ooo

And I said, David don't you think that it's strange

While you were sleeping
How the world went and changed

Looking in your eyes
I think you know

David, we lost you
Lost you a long time ago
