Lucinda Williams Lyrics for Song: Sidewalks Of The City
 Lyrics for Album: Sweet Old World [1992]
 
 
 
 1506>As you walk along the sidewalks of the city
 
 
 
 You see a man with hunger in his face
 
 
 
 And all around you crumbling buildings and graffiti
 
 
 
 As you bend down to tie your shoelace
 
 
 
 Sirens scream but you don't listen
 
 
 
 You have to reach home before night
 
 
 
 But now the sun beats down
 
 
 
 It makes the sidewalks glisten
 
 
 
 And somehow you just don't feel right
 
 
 
 Hold me baby, give me some faith
 
 
 
 Let me know you're there
 
 
 
 Let me touch your face
 
 
 
 Give me love give me grace
 
 
 
 Tell me good things
 
 
 
 Tell me that my world is safe
 
 
 
 You pass by bars with empty stages
 
 
 
 Three o'clock drinkers fall by
 
 
 
 Chairs are placed on top of tables
 
 
 
 As you brush the hair out of your eyes
 
 
 
 A woman stops you with a question
 
 
 
 So you drop some money in her hand
 
 
 
 She sleeps in doorways and bus stations
 
 
 
 And you'll never understand
 
 
 
 Hold me baby, give me some faith
 
 
 
 Let me know you're there
 
 
 
 Let me touch your face
 
 
 
 Give me love give me grace
 
 
 
 Tell me good things
 
 
 
 Tell me that my world is safe
 
 1506>
