Iron and steel

Iron and steel hugging the sky

Footsteps on the sidewalk all faded black

The train and cars are rushing by

With faces that are never coming back

The lights never die, the frost takes hold

Sitting on the corner of the block

Clutching my paper cup in the cold

The people always pass, but they never stop

Iron and steel hugging the sky

The rays of sun are so far above

Watching the pigeons as they try to fly

Sitting on the pavement waiting for love

The lights never die, I breathe in the air

Shadows of hope grants me some bread

They wonder how much longer I'll be sitting here

and I´m thinking maybe until I'm dead

Iron and steel hugging the sky

I'm just dealing with the hand I was dealt

Been long since I stopped asking myself why

Now I just worry about when the snow will melt

The lights never die, another coin in my cup

I smile as she disappears into the crowd

Thank you trace of love, but it´s never enough

The shouts from the penniless are always too loud
