lonely street

Jimmy Cliff

I walk the lonely streets
I walk the lonely streets
I walk the lonely streets
I walk the lonely streets

There was no love,
no, no love to be found
There was no love,
no, no love to be found

Evening comes
Sun sinks low
Shadows tell
that it's time
to go

Mystic smiles
on faces wide
Comic styles
But their faces
don't glow

I walk the lonely streets
I walk the lonely streets
I walk the lonely streets
I walk the lonely streets

There was no love
to be found
There was no love
to be found

Wandering child
searching for
directions
that images don't show

It's a sin
beckoning
for the love
that they need
to know

As I walk the lonely streets
I walk the lonely streets
I walk the lonely streets
I walk the lonely streets

There was no love
There was no love

I walk the lonely streets
I walk the lonely streets
I walk the lonely streets
I walk the lonely streets

Lonely streets
They don't reason with me,
they don't talk

They don't reason, they don't talk
They don't talk
They don't talk

Oh, no, lonely streets
Oh, no, only lonely streets.
