Manhattan Transfer - Gentleman With A Family Lyrics
Scarecrow, weathered and wearyFragile and old beyond his yearsHere we are - chosenIn your eyes, the truth lies frozenSoldier in the city heatRefugee in every streetAnd life goes byStanding in the pouring rain(chorus)Hes a gentleman with a familyA gentle man, living day to dayHes a gentleman with pride,One may concludeSign reads, gentleman with aFamily will work for foodShadows haunting his tired eyesReaching beyond the empty handHere we are, the chosenIn your eyes, the truth lies, frozenSoldier in the city heatRefugee on any streetAnd life goes byAn apostle to these worn out soulsHes a gentleman with a familyA gentle man, living day to dayHes a gentleman with pride,One may concludeSign reads, gentleman with aFamily will work for food
