Banished
Banished
have you seen the man with long arms walking down your street by sight
have you seen the man with a long face because he's nowhere to sleep tonight
have you ever seen a light that shone then taken away by someone Else's spite
have you seen the man who sees the rain and then cries all through the night
have you seen a man that's crippled but yet he's begging for a fight
have you seen of anything that's so wrong that heaven's not so white
have you seen him with a long coat and a beard just sitting by the light
have you seen people pass him but take no notice because they are just alright
have you seen a star that shines in your eyes that seems so very bright
have you got anything more than a man who sleeps with strangers as the devil might invite
