Standard (EADGBE)

Street corner stranger can I talk with you awhile

 I see that you are standing in this rain

You see it's not that easy

 For me to explain to you

  ^?

But Ive been back into the poison once again

Street corner stranger can I have a talk with you

 I know I've passed you by many times before

And I know that your not Moses

 But I'm standing at the waters edge

 Can you tell me how to get to the other side

 You see I traded my family

 For the bottom of some glass

And now I need to speak with again

 And I know that your not Moses but I need to speak with you

 Cause I've been back into the poison once again

Solo

Do these folks round here look down on you

 When you bow your head in shame

 I know the way you feel when you shake and cry

^?

What advice can you give me so I dont end up like you

Wringing wet and cold as they pass you by

 You see I traded my family

 For the bottom of some glass

And now I need to speak with again

 And I know that your not Moses but I need to speak with you

 Cause I've been back into the poison once again
