I was out in the city, I was out in the rain
I was feeling downhearted, I was drinking againI was standing by the bridges where the dark water flows
I was talking to a stranger about times long agoI was young, I was foolish
I was angry (and), I was vain
I was charming, I was (Feeling) lucky (out there)
Tell me how have I changed
(Oh yeah)Now I'm out, oh out
Of control (yeah) (oh yes)Oh help me now, yeah
And the girls in the doorway and the boys on the game
And the drunks and the homeless they all know me
And the police on the corner give a nod and a wave
And they point me to my final destinationIn the hotel I'm excited by the smile on her face
But I wondered how was time going to change her, yeah
