SOMEBODY NOBODY KNOWS

Alone in a barroom a young girl is sitting and smiling at nothing at all
And she stares now and then at the eyes of the men
In the mirror that hangs on the wall
She's waiting for someone and knowing there's no one
Who cares if she comes or she goes
Just a soul in the shadows the world never sees she's somebody nobody knows

Someone no one's ever known, crying where no one can hear
Somebody's dying alone in a city where nobody cares

Down in the gutter an old man had fallen like something the world threw away
And the late crowd was leavin' and nobody even took time to look down where he lay
The old man was crying and helplessly trying to wipe off the stain from his clothes
Just a soul in the shadows that life left behind he's somebody nobody knows

Someone no one's ever known, crying where no one can hear
Somebody's dying alone in a city where nobody cares
