I saw you walking, I heard you cry

I saw you leave, I wonder why

Were they all, cruel to you

Breal your heart, through and through

Put your head down in my arms

And tell me what went wrong

Across the river, across the bay

People starving, every day

Nearly naked, pale and wan

With crowds of people, looking on

Hearts and pounding, heads are still

As tears begin to fall, I'm dreaming

Baby, hold me, always let me know

Darling, hold me, never let me go

I saw you walking, I heard you cry

I saw you leave, I wonder why

All those ages, all these years

As tears begin to fall, I'm dreaming

Baby, hold me, always let me know

Darling, hold me, never let me go
