[Em]
[D]
[C]
[B]
[E] Casey [Em] joins the hollow sound [D] of silent people walking down [C] the stairway to the subway in
[B] the shadows down below.
[E]
[Em] Following their footsteps through [D] the neon darkened corridors [C] of silent desperation,
never [B] speaking to a soul.
[C] The poison air he's breathing has [G] the dirty smell of dying,
[A] cause it's never seen the sunshine [B] and it's never felt the rain.
[E] But Casey [Em] minds the arrows [D] and ignores the fatal echoes
of [C] the clicking of the turnstile and [Bm] the rattle of his [E] chain.
[Em]
[D]
[G] Oh, she said, Casey it's been so long since [D] I've seen you.
Here, she said, just a kiss to make a body [G] smile.
See, she said, I put on new stockings just to [D] please you.
Lord, she said, Casey can you only stay a [G]
while?
[B]
[E] Casey leaves the underground [D] and stops inside the golden crown
[C] for something wet to wipe away [B] the chill that's on his bone.
[E]
[Em] Seeing his [E] reflection in [D] the lives of all the lonely men
[C] who reach for anything they can [B] to keep from going home.
[C]
Standing in the corner, Casey [G]
drinks his pint of bitter,
[A] never glancing in the mirror [B] at the people passing by.
[E] And he stumbles as he's [Em] leaving and [D] he wonders if the reason
is [C] the blur that's in his belly or [Bm] the tear that's [E] in his [Em] eye.
[D]
[G] Oh, she said, I suppose you seldom think [D] about me.
Now, she said, now that you've a family of [G] your own.
Still, she said.
