Letra de Night Patrol

See him cuddled in the shadows Sleepin' on his cardboard bed Using rags for a pillow Where he lays his unwashed head His blanket's old newspaper Not much good against the snow See so many like him out there When you walk the night patrol When you walk the night patrol Oh, you wonder where he came from Where he's gonna go Was it a woman or a bottle? That's brought him down so low What's happened to his family? Do they know he's out here in the cold? He's just a nameless soldier Marching on the night patrol Marching on the night patrol Like that girl on the corner She can't be more than seventeen She's run away from somewhere Taking nothing but her dreams Now those dreams are lying shattered As the street exacts its toll And she's just another victim Lost out on the night patrol Oh, you could ask me why I'm out here Where do I fit into the scene? Now I'm drawing unemployment Got replaced by a machine And I'm tortured by my bad habits Sometimes, I lose this struggle to control And the street has its attractions When you walk the night patrol When you walk the night patrol
