The Lonely Life Testo

What if i did not love you
where would that leave me
would i wander through the avenues
under a pall of misery

would i be face down in a gutter
with cheap whiskey on my breath
the lonely life of a rider
who's words could not pay his depts
singing please don't
please don't pass me by
i am alive can't you see
and i've been blinded completely
please don't please don't pass me by
i am alive can't you see
and i am pleading for your mercy

what if we became strangers
would you notive my face in a crowd
and could you hear the sorrow in my voice
helpless crying your name out loud

would i be searching for a saviour
i'm burned, i'm burning with regret
the lonely life of a rider
will live one desperate quest

singing please don't
please don't pass me by i am alive oh can't you see
and i've been blinded completely
please don't please don't pass me by
i am alive can't you see
and i am pleading for your mercy

i've been on the lamb
being hunted something fearce
*couldn't make out this line*
but i was just hoping these storm filled skies would clear

please don't
please don't pass me by
please don't
please don't pass me by
please don't
please don't pass me by
I am alive oh can't you see
babe i am pleading for your mercy
