Sitting here down on the pavement
He seems to be part of the walls
People pass him without a glance
Or just give him a couple of coins
And tonight he will get up and wonder
What's the point, he don't know why
He keeps on searching for a shelter
A buried place where he can cry
And that's the way life goes
Uh-huh, yeah
And that's the way life goes
Uh-huh, yeah
She shivers in a squall of cold air
She wishes she were somewhere else
He does nothing, he just stands there
And tears are rolling on his face
She doesn't feel a single rune of love
For the boy in front of her
She knows she can't be a white dove
And love is rarely forever
And that's the way life goes
Uh-huh, yeah
And that's the way life goes
Uh-huh, yeah
And that's the way life goes
Uh-huh, yeah
And that's the way life goes
Uh-huh, yeah
And that's the way life goes
Uh-huh, yeah
And that's the way life goes
Uh-huh, yeah
And that's the way life goes
Uh-huh, yeah
