lyrics

I don't recognize this man, he speaks my language but oh so bad
His bed is cold and quiet, I'll take him out for breakfast this one time
I know I shouldn't have, the way people look
The street vendors sit and stare, then turn back to their books

We had nothing to lose, just day after blues
Oh how could we lose

I cooked him dinner some nights, he met my sister and acted polite
His strange smells keep hanging, around near the windows and walls where he first sang
And I know I shouldn't have, left him alone
He's cold and quiet and far from home

We had nothing to lose, just day after blues
Oh how could we lose

He calls me late one night, he's back from holiday bearded and white
He's broken the keys to his place, and I hang up the phone and picture his face
And I know I shouldn't have, but soon he'll go
Still I keep dreaming we could have grown close

We had nothing to lose, just day after blues
Oh how could we lose
