I came into this lovely city
D A G G
about three weeks ago today,
D A G G
and I've been trying to find someone that I can talk to,
D A G G
a friendly face to turn my way.
D A G G
I walk these streets in silent sorrow,
D A G G
I walk my feet into the ground,
D A G G
and all I see are cloudy, cold, suspicious faces,
D A G G
I swear to God it brings me down.

Is there no one with a smile for me,
G G D A G G
no one with a hello in their eyes?
D A
Is there no one who will love me
G G D A G G
and help me through the dark and lonely night?
D A G G
The park's so green and full of flowers
D A G G
and lovers lying on the lawn.
D A G G
I wish I had a lady here that I could laugh with,
D A G G
sweet Jesus Christ, it hurts me so to be alone.

Is there no one with a smile for me,

and help me through the cold and lonely night?

Singing la la la la la la,

This life is hard and full of trouble,
D A G G
it's painful just to live from day to day.

But if you're weary and afraid don't turn away now,
D A G G
there's no reason why we have to feel this way.
