Byron Black Lyrics

Byron Black lyrics

I met a man named Byron Black

And he carried his life strapped to his back

On a sidewalk in Houston he called home

Crying, "Don't you forget me,"

He said, "Don't you forget me,"



You don't know what it's like to walk alone

You don't know and I hope you never will



Every stride wears the soul more thin

Until it's slowly worn down to nothing

Every stride wears the soul more thin

Until it's slowly worn down to nothing

And what can I do now?



Faces of people he would see

They were colder than any city street

And the days go on and on and they just walk by

He said, "I'm disappearing,"

He said, "I'm disappearing,"

 

You don't know what it's like to walk alone

You don't know and I hope you never will



Every stride wears the soul more thin

Until it's slowly worn down to nothing

Every stride wears the soul more thin

Until it's slowly worn down to nothing



And we all walk in their names

But our hearts don't work the same

By-products of evolution

Lost, always looking for a lost solution now!



Every stride wears the soul more thin

Until it's slowly worn down to nothing



Every stride wears the soul more thin

Until it's slowly worn down to nothing

Every stride wears the soul more thin

Until it's slowly worn down to nothing

Every stride wears the soul more thin

Until it's slowly worn down to nothing

No!
