John Miles - Stranger In The City lyrics

Buildings tower round me like they're
Waiting for the kill
For days I haven't eaten and
I really do feel ill
If I cry for help, would you hear my call?
If I stumble now, would you let me fall?
Won't you give me a hand? Try to understand
That I'm a stranger in the city

Stuck inside these streets it's like
A human traffic jam
People walk right over me now
They don't give a damn
If I ask for death, would you give me a gun?
If I took your hand, would you turn and run?
Won't you pity me just try to see
That I'm a stranger in the city, yeah, yeah

All my friends were saying that the
Streets were paved with gold
I couldn't wait to get there from
The stories I'd been told
There's everything that I could want
It sounded like a dream but my money's gone
And I've got no one
Friends are nowhere to be seen

Concrete jungle all around can't hear
The birds and bees i've walked for miles
I can't believe what happened to the trees
If I need someone, would you help me get by?
If I come to you, would you give it a try?
I'm all alone so far from home
Well I'm a stranger in the city
