lyrics

Verse 1
Well it didn’t take long, to understand
The way things were and the way it all began
Well these streets are cold, and so full a shame
With your sanity lost now tell me who’s to blame

Chorus
You see your shadow and you have no light
And when you have no money well you have no right
Your two cents you would spend
You’re waiting for your streak of bad luck to end
Homeless soldier, you came home the world got colder
Your friends all died but you grew older
You’ll never be the same
All the memories
All your shattered dreams
They’ll be waiting here
Waiting here for you

Verse 2
With your beat up sign, and your cup of change
The people walking by looking down on that man deranged
Well there’s a tear in his eye, that you can barely see
It’s coming from that man, that man he used to be

(Chorus)

Homeless soldier, you came home the world got colder
Your friends all died but you grew older
You’ll never be the same
All the memories
All your shattered dreams
They’ll be waiting here
Waiting here for you

All the memories
All your shattered dreams
They’ll be waiting here
Waiting here for you
