Stranger In The City-John Miles

Buildings tower round me like they're waiting for the kill. For days I haven't eaten and I really do feel ill. If I cry for help, will you hear my call? If I stumble now, would you let me fall? Won't you give me a hand? Try to understand, I'm a stranger in the city. Stuck inside these streets it's like a human traffic jam. People walk right over me now, they don't give a damn. If I ask for death, would you give me a gun? If I took your hand, would you turn and run? Won't you pity me, Just try to see, I'm a stranger in the city. All my friends were saying that the streets were paved with gold. I couldn't wait to get there from the stories I'd been told. There's everything that I could want, it sounded like a dream. But my money's gone And I've got no-one. Friends are nowhere to be seen. Concrete jungle all around can't hear the birds and bees. I've walked for miles, I can't believe what happened to the trees. If I need someone, would you help me to get by? If I come to you, would you give it a try? I'm all alone, So far from home. I'm a stranger in the city.
