Man on the corner
Where did you go
Tattered sign and all
Shabby clothes to make the look
Forlorn look
In the pouring rain

Man on the corner
Where did you go
Life seems to beat
The sould from its shell
Left as a husk
No move left to make

Life in the balance
Where did it go
Stalled on the spot
Where highway meets roadway
Stuck right there

Man on the corner
Where did you go
I can see you standing there
But with eyes so lifeless
Choice so pointless
You’re there but gone all the same

Where did you go
Not what he hoped for
