there’s a sign saying «phones in rooms»
there’s a blind man bangin’ the drums of doom
there’s a barking dog on the telephone line
there’s a beggar on the street sayin’ «I’m doin’ fine»
there’s a cry — there’s a cry in the night
another love has died
there’s a dream dyin’ on second floor
while a businessman waits at the doors
for somemercyfulbody to bring the key
and break the chains of misery
there’s a cry… and I’m missing you
and the night comes down and the lights go out
in my bedroom lies a drunken astronaut
and I stare at your picture and wonder why
we had to say goodbye
and I cry
I’m missing you…
