Act 1 Scene 4

[Scene outside Fosters,  J walking around…]

Lonely Man

Lonely man walking the rails tonight,

His arms are heavy and his belly’s tight,

As he dreams of a girl.  He used to know.

He carries in his head her photograph.

And the tape recordings of the sound of her laugh

And the look in her eye.  When she said no.

Lonely man you look a lot like me

Lonely man you look like me

In another time, in another place

Nothing softer than his angel’s face

As he brushed away a tear.  That he put there.

Got no peace of mind, he’s got no peace of soul

There’s no soft woman for him to hold

But he keeps on trying, it’s all he knows.

Lonely man you look a lot like me

Lonely man you look like me

Lonely man walking the rails tonight,

His arms are heavy and his belly’s tight,

As he dreams of a girl.  He used to know.

He carries in his head her photograph.

And the tape recordings of the sound of her laugh

And the look in her eye.  When she said no.
