David - Passenger
Well I met him outside a hostel door
He said I'll tell you mine
If you tell me yours
I know you think it's shifty
For a man in his fifties
To be sleeping in a hostel dorm
But I used to be a welder by trade
Used to work by the water
Where the ships get made
But no ship yard will take me now
My hands are too shaky now
If I've spend all my money before I get paid
And I said: David don't you think it's strange
While you in your dark room
How the world went and changed
Looking in your eyes
Yeah I think you know
That David we lost you
Lost you a long time ago
He leans his head against the hostel wall
Said I have an ex-wife that doesn't hear me
And a kid that doesn't call
And every month I'm caught short
With my fucking child support
And the court says
That I'm reckless and irresponsible
Cause it was never part of the plan
To be a middle aged man
To be sat outside a hostel
Shaking strangers hands
But I've drunk away my wealth
I'm a picture of bad health
And I'm a shadow of a shadow of a former self
And I said: David don't you think it's strange
If you walking
And how the world went and changed
I hear it in your voice
I think you know
That David we lost you
Lost you a long time ago
I siad David don't you think it's strange
While you were sleeping
How the world went and changed
Looking in your eyes
So I think you know
David we lost you
Lost you a long time ago
