I’m inebriated
On such a winter’s day
With dying eyes
My world has slipped away
And now the birds don’t sing
‘Cause it’s cold in the street
I get up from the ground
But my heart is asleep
Now the sun don’t shine anymore
And my fortune is bleak
And though the church bells jangle aloud
I know they ring not for me
So put the money in the meter
See the city go by
So put the money in the meter
Leave your worries behind
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I lay upon a bench
Benеath the hazy sky
To wait alone
For friends that don’t arrivе
And when the leaves turn green
Like a dove I’ll awake
To a place that I remember
With the love that I crave
Now the clouds have gathered in my head
And it’s a hell of a wait
I catch a glimpse of a smile through the haze
But the feeling remains
So put the money in the meter
See the city go by
So put the money in the meter
Leave your worries behind
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I put the money in the meter
See the city go by
I put the money in the meter
Leave my worries behind
I put the money in the meter
I put the money in the meter
I put the money in the meter
I put the money in the meter
