What if I did not love you?
Where would that leave me?
But I wander through the avenues
Under a pall of misery
Would I be face down in the gutter
With cheap whiskey on my breath
The lonely life of a writer
Whose words could not pay his debts
Saying please don't, please don't pass me by
I am alive, oh can't you see?
That I've been finding company
Please don't, please don't pass me by
I am alive, oh can't you see?
That I am pleading for your mercy
What if we became strangers?
Would you notice my face in a crowd?
And you could you hear the sorrow in my voice?
Helplessly crying your name out loud
Would I be searching for a saviour?
Burning, burning with regret
The lonely life of a writer
With one last desperate request
Saying please don't, please don't pass me by
I am alive, oh can't you see?
That I've been finding company
Please don't, please don't pass me by
I am alive, oh can't you see?
That I am pleading for your mercy
I've been on the lamb
Being hunted, so confused
They say time and tide don't wait for no man
And I was just hoping
These storm filled skies will clear
Please don't, please don't pass me by
Please don't, please don't pass me by
Please don't, please don't pass me by
I am alive, oh can't you see?
That I am pleading for your mercy
