David Lyrics - Singles - Passenger

i met him outside a hostel door 

he said i'll tell you mine if you tell me yours 

i know you think its shifty 

for a man in his fifties 

to be sleeping in a hostel dorm 

but i used to be a welder by trade 

used to work by the water where the ships get made 

but no ship yard will take me now 

my hands are too shaky now 

and i've spent all my money before i get paid 

well i said david don't you think its strange, 

while you were sleeping how the world went and changed 

looking in your eyes i think you know 

david we lost you 

we lost you a long time ago

he leans his head a against a hostel wall 

said i've an ex wife that doesn't hear me 

and a kid that doesn't call 

and every month i'm caught short 

with my sodding child support 

and the court says that i'm reckless and irresponsible 

see it was never part of the plan, 

to be a middle aged man 

to be sat outside a hostel shaking strangers hands 

but i've drunk away my wealth 

and I'm a picture of bad health 

and i'm a shadow of a shadow of a former self 

and i said david don't you think its strange, 

while you were walking how the world went and changed 

i hear it in your voice i think you know 

david we lost you 

we lost you a long time ago

well i said david don't you think its strange, 

while you were in your dark room how the world went and changed 

looking in your eyes i think you know 

david we lost you 

we lost you a long time ago
