I am just a poor boy though my story's seldom told I have squandered my existence On a pocket full of mumbles such are promises All lies in jest, 'til a man hears what he wants to hear And disregards the rest When I left my home and my family, I was no more than a boy In the company of strangers, in the quiet of the railway station Runnin' scared, layin' low, seeking out the poor quarters Where the ragged people go looking for the places Only they would know Li la li Li la li, li li li li Li la li Li la li, li li li li Li la li Only seeking workman's wages I come looking for a job but I get no offers Just a come on from the whores on Seventh Avenue I do declare there were times when I was so lonesome I took some comfort there In a-laying out my winter clothes And wishing I was home, going home Where the New York City winters Aren't a-bleeding me, bleeding me Going home Da da da da da Da da da da da da da da Da da da da da da da In the clearing stands a boxer and a fighter by his trade And he carries the reminders Of every bloke that laid him down or cleft him 'Til he cried out in his anger and his shame "I am leaving, I am leaving but the fighter still remains" Li la li Li la li, li li li li Li la li Li la li, li li li li Li la li

Every night it's the same I feel your heart turn cold as rain And know that you'll be gone again I hear the front door close You say you got to go downtown I guess there's someone else you've found So why you're still coming 'round Heaven only knows Heaven only knows just why Loving you should make me cry Make me feel like I could die That's the way it goes Heaven only ever sees How love's made a fool of me I guess that's how it's meant to be but Heaven only knows I've heard it said that talk is cheap But still your words they cut so deep Lay me crying in my sleep And the pain just grows I don't know who's right or wrong But all we had is dead and gone So why you keep me hanging on Heaven only knows Heaven only knows just why Loving you should make me cry Make me feel like I could die That's the way it goes Heaven only ever sees How love's made a fool of me I guess that's how it's meant to be but Heaven only knows I'm gonna turn and walk away There's nothing left for me to say It wouldn't change things anyway Though, I suppose The love I gave was always true Well, I don't know what else to do And how I'll ever get over you Heaven only knows Heaven only knows just why Loving you should make me cry Make me feel like I could die That's the way it goes Heaven only ever sees How love's made a fool of me I guess that's how it's meant to be but Heaven only knows

I remember holdin' on to you All them long and lonely nights I put you through Somewhere in there I'm sure I made you cry I can't remember if we said goodbye But I recall All of them nights down in Mexico One place I may never go In my life again Was I just off somewhere Or just too high? But I can't remember If we said goodbye I only miss you Every now and then It's kinda soft breeze Blowin' up from the Caribbean Most Novembers I break down and cry 'Cause I can't remember If we said goodbye But I recall All of them nights down in Mexico One place I will never go In my life again Was I just off somewhere Or maybe just too high? But I can't remember If we said goodbye No, I can't remember If we said goodbye Goodbye Goodbye

Last night I dreamed about you I dreamed that you were older You were looking like Picasso With a scar across your shoulder You were kneeling by the river You were digging up the bodies buried long ago Michelangelo Last night I dreamed about you I dreamed you were a pilgrim On a highway out alone To find the mother of your children Who were still unborn and waiting In the wings of some desire, abandoned long ago Michelangelo Were you there at Armageddon Was Paris really burning? Could I have been the one to pull you From the point of no returning? And did I hear you calling out my name Or was it forgotten long ago? Michelangelo Last night I dreamed about you I dreamed that you were riding On a blood red painted pony Up where the heavens were dividing And the angels turned to ashes You came tumbling with them to earth, so far below Michelangelo Last night I dreamed about you I dreamed that you were dying In a field of thorn and roses With a hawk about you crying For the warrior slain in battle From an arrow driven deep inside you long ago Michelangelo Did you suffer at the end Would there be no one to remember? Did you banish all the old ghosts With the terms of your surrender? And could you hear me calling out your name? Well, I guess that I will never know Michelangelo Last night I dreamed about you I dreamed that you were weeping And your tears poured down like diamonds For a love beyond all keeping And you caught them one by one In a million silk bandanas that I gave you long ago Michelangelo
