Jack

Do you see that lonely man Just talking to himself I bet a buck, he's lived a life Once consumed by wealth Look at how his dressed today That suit would not be cheap His shoes do seem to match his hat The colours are quite deep Yet there he sits, all alone What happened in his life Does he have a home to go Does he have a wife I wonder if I talked to him Would he answer back Tell the story of his life I know his name is Jack One day I will sit near him I'll offer first a smile Then see if he will give one back We might just chat awhile Though now today he isn't here An empty chair I see I missed my chance, he now is gone Hopefully now he's free
