Song Lyrics

Warning sirens when this town goes bad
And that’ll be me walking down that dirty old path
I know you never knew but there’s room for you
It don’t have to be so sad
Just call on me when it all starts pouring ‘round

We can live on the street
We’ll beg for their love
And if they leave us hungry
We’ll still look at them soft
‘Cause you and I we’re both searching for a life
Where people don’t know what we’re about
Call on me when your luck runs out

And if we don’t make it through the night
It don’t mean we weren’t doing things right

Here’s my hand for anybody to share
I’m the destitute beggar
And everyone believes what they hear
But I ain’t a good reason
Why this whole place is covered in mud
Oh, call on me when the help don’t come

So brave the cold
Listen to the running stream by your side
We’ll follow to a bright destiny
Where I can lay you on an unmade bed
‘Cause there all the doors will be open for me
Oh come and see
Call on me
