help me now

hear me now and use your love to listen well

'cause i'm trying to tell you why i know

it's time for me to go

i drifted into the city to sing my songs of the gypsy life

be free

be kind

be strong

i sang at walls and you came down to hold my head

when the concrete beat me down

and we rested high in a nest in the wall

forgetting it all

so help me now

i do believe i am sinkin' down

yes

i'm back on the ground and i've found

i'm bound to travel on

you've only asked me to let you know whenever i had to go

i'm trying to let you know i'll soon be gone

i want it clear and my thoughts in here

so you'll know you're not to blame

it's those cats upstairs who handle my songs

how they string me along

lovin' someone is to love someone

forever is the moment you're in

a woman's a world a man can rest inside

it's a love that's sown with dreams

that the city keeps tearin' on down

and can't you see what you are lovin' in me

is my will to be free

so help me now to understand

i'm a free born man and i do love you so

but now it's time for me to go
