Lyrics
I left my country home
Seems like a long long time ago
And went to seek my fortune
Where the big smoke grows
I'd never seen so many sights
As I saw on that very first night
The question and the answer
Well I thought that here I'd find them
There's a knock on the door
And I'm living on the seventh floor
There's a dreadful hurry in this town
I wonder what it's for
He didn't even ask my name
He left me with nothing in my heart but shame
Some things you can't keep you know
But some things are better not thrown away
Then the days turned dull and sad
I watched the clock hands turn the hours
I took not for my fever
But it didn't help me either
The congregation saw the light
And they thought it true that night
But they went on living out their lives
Just as they had before
Came one evening I was walking in the park
I met a man who was singing in the dark
He told me 'bout Jesus and all the saints
Said "This is our reward for your life of restraint
Life is like a coat of cheap cloth
Pain it feels you know"
Don't put yourself down
Don't hang your head when you walk through town
What you feel is allowed
Never mind about the eye of the crowd
'Cause the ends unseen don't mean
It's not still proving closer to be
The question and the answer
Well I thought that here I'd find them
And I took not for my fever
But it didn't help me either
There's a knock on the door
And I'm living on the seventh floor
There's no need to worry
No need to worry anymore
