Deliverance
And One Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

He is lying at the corner
And waiting for helping hands
He is lying at the corner
And waiting for the deliverance
For the deliverance
He had nothing to hope and to say
And the neon lights goes on
Another night for him
Without sorrows
Without hopes
And the night is coming down
And the rain is coming down




He is sitting there
And everybody don´t care
