[Verse 1]
No one ever needs to catch up on a rainy day’s sleep
And the trees don’t need an extra shot of green
No one asks me, "What’s your name?" and no one cares how I’ve been
They just listen, move along, drop a dollar in
[Chorus]
So, I’m here today
And I’ll be here tomorrow
Someone’s got to make sure the streets stay full of sorrow
And I’ll learn to live in the moments that I make my own
There’s no S.O.S. at all when you’re singing for the streets of Seattle
[Verse]
So, take the ferry back and forth all the way across the bay
A cup of coffee so at least I know I can still pay for something these days
Make up a romance with every girl I see walkin ‘around town
Rest assured I still have something to write about
[Chorus]
So, I’m here today
And I’ll be here tomorrow
Someone’s got to make sure the streets stay full of sorrow
And I’ll learn to live in the moments that I make my own
There’s no S.O.S. at all when you’re singing for the streets of Seattle
Won’t you please be kind to me?
I don’t know where I went wrong
All that I know is I’m not right now
[Outro]
No one ever needs to catch up on a rainy day’s sleep
Oh Seattle, please be fair to me
