Lyrics

(Louris, olson) pedal blue music/warner-tamerlane publishing corp. bmi

God of the rich man ain't the god for the poor
God, men and the state hospital is closed, and wouldn't you know
Winos and office girls in the park
Wanted you alone to walk beside her
Wanted you alone to live beside her, it was morning
Better roads with light on them

Chorus:
Can your diamonds talk to you, can you see them shine
Keep them hiding in your room, can they guide you in your time
Can they guide you in your time

Windows were broken by your dear one's hands
Gates left swinging by your dear one's hands
An old book salesman asked if he could step in
The sidewalks you slept on held no rest
Gave away the money you saved
In your trust, you're sorry now
Light hits you funny at the time

(Chorus)

The sidewalks, you slept on
They're so broken. they're so broken down
I'll meet you there. I'll meet you there

Years before and the trees would start to bloom
You walked outside, wanted back in your room, what did you hope for
Turn the corner while you slept ?
God of the rich man ain't the god for the poor
God, men and the state hospital is closed, and won't you know
Winos and office girls in the park

(Chorus)

(Chorus)
