Paul Bell

Another Day

Another day, and she sighs

Pain seeping from her drained eyes

Can\'t go on getting high

I could have stayed, she cries

The streets, they’re cold and bare

The people, they don’t care

No time for talking; they just stare

She thinks of people, people from nowhere

No hurrying along, must prolong

Hey mister, got a shilling for a song

The day drags on, money all gone

The people start on home

And into the night 

She’s again, alone.
