Select language to translate this lyric
A stare dressed in ice made me stop
I thought maybe I should get closerâ¦
Oh, But I didn't
So I stood still
While I wondered:
Why that young creature is wasting her life?
On the sidewalk
Under the harried feet
Of this cold city
And sometimes
A coin falls to her lap
Coming down from the crowd
I tried to get my way, again
Then: slowly she drew a distant smileâ¦
Oh! But, but I didn't
And she stood still for long
As well the time could be caught
In that little bit of joy
In her little bit of joy
And sometimes
A coin falls to her lap
Coming down from the crowd
And sometimes
A coin falls to her lap
Coming down from the crowd
You are the one who left behind
The future when hate collided your door
You are one of thousands hopeless⦠(I wonder)
Because nobody is coming now⦠(are you?)
You are the last one, smiling to your ghosts⦠(Yes, you are)
And sometimes
A coin falls to her lap
Coming down from the crowd
And sometimes
A coin falls to her lap
Coming down from the crowd⦠Oh!
Into the crowd
