The
little man was hungry,
and they saw him as a tramp
With a love note in his pocket,
but no money for a stamp
He just sits there in the doorway
and sings a lonely song.
Mourning the cold light of his face,
watching the shadows
weave and dance.
Smiling, but in his eyes,
the chances are gone.
He wants me. He wants you.
Maybe someone that you knew.
There goes everybody's brother,
what's his name?
Walked on by a pale old man,
heartbreaks hap pen all the time
It is cold enough today, so let it rain
The painter tries to paint him,
the poet he tries to save
I think he had a castle
in the man he used to be.
I stopped to ask a question.
Can you tell me what you've
learned?
Nobody knows the truth, he said.
Not till the book has all been read.
Follow the one you love
instead of the wrong.
He wants me. He wants you.
Maybe someone that you knew
There goes everybody's
brother
What's his name?
Walk on by, come back
Heartbreaks happen all the time
And it's cold enough today
So let it rain
He was me, he was you
Maybe someone that you knew
There goes everybody's brother,
what's his name?
What can I buy, what I buy, what I buy?
It's good all the time
Ain't it cold enough today,
so let it rain
Ain't it cold enough today, so let it rain
It was me, it was you
Me and someone that you knew
Because everybody's brother
What's his name?
He's the man of my heart
I call him all the time
It is cold enough today
So let it rain
He wants me, he wants you
Me and someone that you knew
Because everybody's brother
Oh, it's his name
