The Lovin' Spoonful - Salvation

Hes sleeping in the hallway Sick with cold and wine The doors are locked before him His bridges burned behind Like a singin bird in winter With a solitary song Nobody there to hear him Nobody helps him along Buddy, was it pride before you fell? Its a long way down that crooked road to hell Salvation Fifty hours from midnight As the sparrow falls The sound of someone weeping Echoes through the halls Poisened by the failure To keep somebody near His memory is laughter His certainty is fear Buddy, was it pride before you fell? Its a long way down that crooked road to hell Salvation Salvation, did somebody cry? Did somebody cry? Salvation Salvation, did somebody cry? Did somebody cry? Oh, Lazarus Somewhere in the city Somewhere in his pain A ragged man with no coat on Is shivering in the rain And your mark is on his forehead A servant and a dove God, wont you help me to know your face Teach me how to love Buddy, was it pride before you fell? Its a long way down that crooked road to hell Salvation Salvation, did somebody cry? Did somebody cry? Did somebody cry? Did somebody cry? Salvation Salvation, did somebody cry?
