I know you think it's shifty for a man in his fifties to be sleeping in a hostel dorm
But I used to be a welder by trade Used to work by the water where the ships get made But no ship yard will take me now My hands are too shaky now And I've spend all my money before I get paid
And I said David, don't you think it's strange
While you were in a dark room How the world went and changed
Looking in your eyes, I think you know
That David, we lost you Lost you a long time ago Oh, ooo, oh
Oh, ooo, oh,ooo
Oh, ooo, oh,ooo
He leans his head against the hostel wall
Said I have an ex-wife that doesn't hear me And a kid that doesn't call And every month I'm call short With my ******* child support And the court says that I'm reckless and irresponsible
Cause it was never part of the plan to be a middle aged man to be sat outside a hostel Shaking stranger's hands But I've drunk away my wealth now I'm a picture of bad health And I'm a shadow of a shadow of a former self
And I said David, don't you think it's strange
For years you're walking And how the world went and changed
I hear it in your voice, I think you know
That David, we lost you Lost you a long time ago Oh, ooo, oh,ooo
Oh, ooo, oh,ooo
Oh, ooo, oh,ooo
Oh, Nooo
Oh, ooo, oh,ooo
Oh, ooo, oh,ooo
And I said, David don't you think that it's strange
While you were sleeping How the world went and changed
Looking in your eyes I think you know
David, we lost you Lost you a long time ago
