On the park bench I slept on
Raindrops are falling on
The newspapers covering me
I hear early morning motors
And I know the world is waking for the dawn
But my mind's down a dark alley
Somewhere where last night you loved me
And in the early morning chill
My arms remember still
But I'm dropping like a stone
Lonesome to the bone
The sun is roughly rising
On the roofs of Stagger town
The time for sweating poison out
Is just now coming round
The high time of last midnight
Is over with and gone
Leaving me to be
Lonesome to the bone
I walked away the wind blows
And any way the wind goes
Will be good enough for me
The streets are loud and crowded
But I walk my weary way lost and alone
Your hot breath and your laughter
Keep flashing through my mind to warm me
But the naked light of day
Soon makes it fade away
And I'm dropping like a stone
Lonesome to the bone
The sun is roughly rising
On the roofs of Stagger town
The time for sweating poison out
Is just now coming round
The high time of last midnight
Is over with and gone
Leaving me to be
Lonesome to the bone
